Is Keats based? I've never read him but I get the feeling that he is. Based like Carlyle and Ruskin are based.

The first stanza of Endymion may be the most memorable stanza in the english language, as a proof I memorized it for school like 18 years ago and it's the only bit of poetry that for some reason never left me. You can wake me up in the middle of the night and I'll do the thing of beauty like a robot.
But yeah, Keats wrote some insanely based poetry, it's a huge shame he died so young before flowering as an artist, one could only imagine his full potential.

Just saying dude, Keats is one of the most popular poets in English today and has been for 200 years while Carlyle and Ruskin are Victorian relics.
