Romantic poet John
Keats (1795-1862) says in the poem titled "Ode on a Grecian Urn",
"Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter'. We know that
man is born free. But he is chained in real life. By nature, man is curious Curiosity
makes him imaginative. He wants to go beyond the horizon. He wants to know the
unknown. He likes to take the taste of the unseen. To him, something unheard and unseen is more glorified and
interesting than something heard and seen. He gives priority to imagination
over reality. Man is always fascinated with the beauty of the unseen. He leaves
nothing in mystery. But when he knows the new thing, it becomes older. Then he
wants to have something new. Something
known and heard gives pleasure, but something unknown and unheard gives him
more pleasure. This heavenly pleasure encourages man to go beyond reality,
because, reality is very hard. Reality hurts him in every step of life. So
difficult things do not attract him. He runs away from complexity Besides, human
mind has a tendency to see and know what is forbidden.
