O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth, Tasting of Flora and the country green, Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth! O for a beaker full of the warm South, Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene, With beaded bubbles winking at the brim, And purple-stained mouth; That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, And with thee fade away into the forest dim: Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget What thou among the leaves hast never known, The weariness, the fever, and the fret Here, where men sit and hear each other groan; Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs, Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies; Where but to think is to be full of sorrow And leaden-eyed despairs, Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes, Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow.

"John Keats"
Director - Tamsin Comrie DOP - Blair Mowat The Fates - three blind sisters who measure out and cut the threads of our lives - dance in their workshop to Ryan O'Reilly's "John Keats". The eponymous poet, thumbing through old photographs, is found by the sisters, and transported to another world. I wanted to evoke the Fates in this song because the song is about life being cut off before you've achieved anything great, and because a key feature of Keats's poetry is reference to Classical, mythical figures. Shot in London in The Idle Hour, Barnes, and Hampstead Heath.

John Keats "Bright star" Poem animation
Heres a virtual movie of the great John Keats (1795 - 1821) reading his much loved sonnet "Bright Star" . This famous sonnet was written by Keats in Joseph Severn's copy of The Poetical Works of William Shakespeare opposite the poem 'A Lover's Complaint'. Because it was written during Keats and Severn's voyage to Italy, many people (including Severn) believed it be Keats's last poem. It was actually titled 'Keats's Last Sonnet' by Milnes in his 1848 biography of Keats. John Keats was born on October 31, 1795 in London. His parents were Frances Jennings and Thomas Keats. John Keats was educated at Enfield School, which was known for its liberal education. While at Enfield, Keats was encouraged by Charles Cowden Clarke in his reading and writing. After the death of his parents when he was fourteen, Keats became apprenticed to a surgeon. In 1815 he became a student at Guy's Hospital. However, after qualifying to become an apothecary-surgeon, Keats gave up the practice of Medicine to become a poet. Keats had begun writing as early as 1814 and his first volume of poetry was published in 1817. In 1818 Keats took a long walking tour in the British Isles that led to a prolonged sore throat, which was to become a first symptom of the disease that killed his mother and brother, tuberculosis. After he concluded his walking tour, Keats settled in Hampstead. Here he and Fanny Brawne met and fell in love. However, they were never able to marry because of his health and financial ...

Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing A flowery band to bind us to the earth, Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth Of noble natures, of the gloomy days, Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon, Trees old, and young, sprouting a shady boon For simple sheep; and such are daffodils With the green world they live in; and clear rills That for themselves a cooling covert make 'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake, Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms: And such too is the grandeur of the dooms We have imagined for the mighty dead; All lovely tales that we have heard or read: An endless fountain of immortal drink, Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink. Nor do we merely feel these essences For one short hour; no, even as the trees That whisper round a temple become soon Dear as the temple's self, so does the moon, The passion poesy, glories infinite, Haunt us till they become a cheering light Unto our souls, and bound to us so fast That, whether there be shine or ...

To Autumn - John Keats
The well-known poem by John Keats, read by Neil Conrich. Ode To Autumn by John Keats Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run; To bend with apples the mossed cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For Summer has o'er-brimmed their clammy cell. Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store? Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find Thee sitting careless on a granary floor, Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind; Or on a half-reaped furrow sound asleep, Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers; And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep Steady thy laden head across a brook; Or by a cider-press, with patient look, Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours. Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,-- While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day, And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue; Then in a wailful choir, the small gnats mourn Among the river sallows, borne aloft Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies; And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn; Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft The redbreast whistles from ...

La Belle Dam sans Merci - John Keats
rnaudioproductions for www.ipodity.com www.allcast.co.uk La Belle Dam sans Merci by John Keats read by Sean Barrett O, what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, Alone and palely loitering? The sedge has wither'd from the lake, And no birds sing. O, what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, So haggard and so woe-begone? The squirrel's granary is full, And the harvest's done. I see a lilly on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever dew; And on thy cheeks a fading rose Fast withereth too. I met a lady in the meads, Full beautiful- a faery's child, Her hair was long, her foot was light, And her eyes were wild. I made a garland for her head, And bracelets too, and fragrant zone; She look'd at me as she did love, And made sweet moan. I set her on my pacing steed, And nothing else saw all day long; For sidelong would she bend, and sing A faery's song. She found me roots of relish sweet, And honey wild, and manna dew, And sure in language strange she said- "I love thee true." She took me to her elfin grot, And there she wept and sigh'd full sore, And there I shut her wild wild eyes With kisses four. And there she lulled me asleep And there I dream'd- Ah! woe betide! The latest dream I ever dream'd On the cold hill side. I saw pale kings and princes too, Pale warriors, death-pale were they all; They cried- "La Belle Dame sans Merci Hath thee in thrall!" I saw their starv'd lips in the gloam, With horrid warning gaped wide, And I awoke and found me here, On the cold hill's side. And this is why I ...

The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold; The hare limp'd trembling through the frozen grass, And silent was the flock in woolly fold: Numb were the Beadsman's fingers, while he told His rosary, and while his frosted breath, Like pious incense from a censer old, Seem'd taking flight for heaven, without a death, Past the sweet Virgin's picture, while his prayer he saith. II. His prayer he saith, this patient, holy man; Then takes his lamp, and riseth from his knees And back returneth, meagre, barefoot, wan, Along the chapel aisle by slow degrees: The sculptur'd dead, on each side, seem to freeze, Emprison'd in black, purgatorial rails: Knights, ladies, praying in dumb orat'ries, He passeth by; and his weak spirit fails To think how they may ache in icy hoods and mails

Daisy Hay joins us to talk about her debut book, 'Young Romantics', a group biography which describes the lives of a circle of second-generation Romantics including Byron, Keats and the Shelleys. In the book Hay dispels the myth of the romantic poet as a solitary, introspective genius, showing how the astonishingly young group drew inspiration from each other to produce their artistic triumphs.

"Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats
A reading of Keats' famous poem about a ancient Greek vase with a pastoral scene. The last lines are very famous. But poetry is like advertising jingles and it passes unchecked into the subconscious. He was afraid that Fanny "had a touch of the Cressida" meaning that she'd been unfaithful. Poetry is an anodyne to harsh reality in which Beauty can be False and Truth can be Ugly. "Thou still unravish'd Bride of Quietness The guests have all gone home, take off that dress..

'Freshers' - Episode 2 - "Fresh Harder"
This is Episode 2 of our online series, 'Freshers.
Created by Stephen Staunton and Ray Grady, 'Freshers' boils down to the great adventure of college life as seen through the eyes of our three protagonists and all that is associated with it.
The series revolves around Sean "Smurph" Murphy (Jack Keating) and his newly acquainted housemates John and J.P. (James Sheridan and Ray Grady) - two best friends, and their exploits and bizzare adventures through their first year of college at G.I.T. and adjusting to life in their new surroundings of a relatively cheap flat in Galway. Smurph displays great enthusiasm for learning and succeeding in life by becoming a journalist whereas John and J.P. are there to learn about the other (and by their own hypothesis) more important things in life -- drink, parties, sex, drugs, friendship and music. Throughout the series, the three begin educating each other in their own philosophy's in life, each becoming more open-minded of the other's lifestyle choices. Frequent visitors to the lads' flat are their neighbours, Joe and Preston (Ciaran Ryan and Patrick Fitzgerald) - two metal heads studying mechanical engineering the trio befriend, Jean-Claude, the local paraplegic drug dealer and the 'uni-bastards' (Ronan 'Rolo' Connelly and John Mac Donnacha) -- two students of their rival college G.U.I. of whom the flatmates take an immediate disliking to. The show largely concerns the colourful and surreal adventures of the trio as they navigate their way through college life, decide on what they want to do with their lives, come to terms with affairs of the heart and try to figure out new and largely unproductive ways of killing time.

'When Sir Isaac Newton dissected the phenomenon of the rainbow, English poet John Keats commented that science had robbed nature and the rainbow of its spectacle by reducing its notion to prismatic colours. ‘Falling Light’ challenges this belief, with a captivating cinematographic interplay between crystal prisms and the preternatural experience they are able to create.
50 ceiling suspended mechanical devices each incorporating a custom cut Swarovski crystal optical lens, a computer programmed motor and a white LED, comprise TROIKA’s installation ‘Falling Light’.
The white-painted metal armatures rise in syncopation by rotating cam before gravity releases them earthward, activating the LED to move away, closer to the crystal lens. The lens acts as a prism, transforming through diffraction, the LED’s white light into a rainbow myriad, in turn creating the rhythmical ebb and flow of the floor-strewn droplets.
Experiencing small drops of light falling from the ceiling onto the gallery floor, the visitor is immersed in a shower of light, each droplet encircled by a vibrant halo of rainbow colours. In chorus, the humming sound of the mechanism is audible – light and sound meld into a single immersive and multi sensory experience, enforcing TROIKA’s agenda that science does not destroy, but rather discovers poetry in the patterns of nature.'

Keats's letters to Fanny Brawne are among the most famous love letters ever written. As next door neighbors, they exchanged numerous short notes, and occasionally more passionate ones. None of Fanny's letters to Keats survive. From his, however, it seems he was often unsettled by her behavior and uncertain of her affection. His illness brought them closer; when he left for Rome, they were engaged and deeply in love. Virtual Film was no doubt enormously expensive in 1819 so Keats slightly abreviated his slightly longer letter when being filmed for his reading by candlelight ha ha. Heres the original version.. Fanny Brawne (1800-1865) was first Keats's neighbor and later his fiancée. The eldest child of a widowed mother, she at first perplexed and exasperated the poet.

John Keats "Ode on Melancholy" Poem animation
Heres a virtual movie of the Great poet John Keats reading from his set of six philosophical "Geat Odes" "Ode on Melancholy" .Ode on Melancholy" is a poem written by John Keats in the spring of 1819. In the spring of that year, Keats wrote the poem along with "Ode on a Grecian Urn", "Ode to a Nightingale", "Ode on Indolence", and "Ode to Psyche". In the Autumn of that year, Keats wrote "To Autumn", which completed his Great Odes of 1819. The narrative of the poem describes the poet's perception of melancholy through a lyric discourse between the poet and the reader along with the introduction to Ancient Grecian characters and ideals. John Keats ( 31 October 1795 -- 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. Along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, he was one of the key figures in the second generation of the Romantic movement, despite the fact that his work had been in publication for only four years before his death.[1] Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his life, his reputation grew after his death to the extent that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He has had a significant influence on a diverse range of later poets and writers: Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.[2] The poetry of Keats is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and ...

ODA AL RUISEÑOR de John Keats
Gime mi corazón, y un torpor somnoliento aqueja mis sentidos...como si hubiera bebido cicuta...o apurado un espeso opiáceo con el que Leteo astutamente me hubiera adormecido. Nunca envidié tu suerte ni beldad, pero me contagié de tu alegría cuando cual dríada de árboles y ríos... en un rincón melodioso de verdes hayas, eternamente umbrío... con tu clara garganta cantaste al estío. Oh, deja que me embriague con el vino que sale de la tierra profunda... ése que a Flora sabe y huele a danza, a canción provenzal ya alegría fecunda. Deja que beba un sorbo de la vida con bullir de burbujas y ese licor rosado y verdadero muestre al mundo mi boca de púrpura teñida. Beber y, sin ser visto, abandonar el mundo... y perderme contigo en el fondo del bosque. Perderme en lo insondable y olvidar lo que sólo se atisba en lo profundo. Esta fatiga, esa destemplanza, donde los hombres escuchan sus gemidos ese temblor de unas postreras canas, cuando la juventud se ha escabullido. Y llega la tristeza cotidiana... y la desesperanza gana la partida. La belleza se esconde, avergonzada y el nuevo amor perece sin mañana. Mejor perderme lejos, volar a ti enlazado, olvidarme de Baco aunque éste venga, suspendernos en alas de la poesía, aunque la mente vacile y se detenga. Contigo estoy, la noche ya ha llegado. Tal vez entronizada esté la reina luna, teniendo alrededor un enjambre de hadas; pero aquí no hay más luz... que la que exhala el cielo con fortuna, por senderos cubiertos de ramas encorvadas ...
