A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HAFIZ’S SONNET 279 AND KEATS’S “HAPPY IS ENGLAND”

Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2012, Vol 5, Issue 22

Abstract

Similar events in Hafiz’s and Keats’s lives and eras make the poets comparable. A comparative study of Hafiz’s sonnet 279 and Keats’s less-referred-to “Happy is England” shows the two poets’ conservatively poetic attempt to find a way of living with the uncertainties of the tumultuous eras they lived in. The authors have tried to show that Hafiz and Keats were obsessed with the harsh realities of their times, and the mystic or idealistic qualities of their poems do not signify escape from those realities. The so-called ‘negative capability’ mode of the two sonnets was an attempt to simultaneously experience beauty as poets and create the capacity to live with uncertainties as products of disturbed historical periods.
