BYRON, KEATS, And SHELLEY were born mature and so could die young and leave behind, in the cases of Byron and Shelley a vast amount of poetry, in the case of Keats a wealth of it. All were in the vanguard of thinking for their own day, and all remain surprisingly germane today. Though they Championed different causes and though their dhort lives took varying directions, their ideals interacted, bringing a freshness of vision very nearly unsurpassed in English poetry. Their names invariably come to our minds as a literary triumvirate, standing for youthful vigor and lyric beauty, and for depth and maturrity at an early age.
