    Keats' poem "A Thing of Beauty" revolts against reality's commonplace nature by distinguishing an object of beauty from an ordinary object based on the permanent appeal and loveliness of the former versus the temporary effect of the latter. Keats describes objects like the sun, moon, old trees, daffodils, clear streams, and flower-rich forests as sources of consolation that provide perpetual joy, unlike ordinary objects whose appeal fades with time, serving as "a ray of light and hope" for humans facing miseries and misfortunes.

    A Thing of Beauty by John Keats This poem is a revolt against the commonplace reality.

    According to Keats the object of beauty differs from an ordinary object. The ordinary object appeals us only temporarily. Its effect is short lived and its loveliness decreases with the passage of time. But the object of beauty appeals to our senses permanently. It cannot be destroyed by time and space. It is a temporal and its loveliness does not fade. It is a ray of light and hope that consoles man in his miseries and misfortunes. Then Keats mentions the objects of beauty one by one. The sun, the moon, the old trees, the daffodils, the clear streams and the forest which is rich with beautiful flowers-all these objects of beauty are a source of consolation in a world Keats found that a beauty (beautiful thing) is a source of perennial joy and happiness. It leaves an indelible mark on our mind and provides us with eternal happiness whenever we think about it. Our joy increases as we keep on remembering the beauty. It is just like Endymion looking for Cynthia as his everlasting love.(according to Greek myth)
