This paper states Haydon's great influeuce on Keats's interest in art itself. John Keats (1795 - 1821) was a British poet considered among the greatest in English. His works, melodic and rich in classical imagery, include "Addressed to Haydon," "Addressed to the Same [Great Spiritsl ," and "To B.R.Haydon, with a Sonnet Written on Seeing the Elgin Marbles." Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786-1846) was an English romantic painter and art critic. His studies began at the Royal Academy in 1807. His works, characterized by order and symmetry and simplicity of style, include "Judgment of Solomon," "Christ's Entry into Jerusalem," and "Agony in the Garden." This paper explains the Petrarchan sonnet that Keats uses, which is a sonnet containing an octave with the rhyme pattern abba/abba and a sestet of the rhyme pattern cdc/dcd. In this paper the author examines the exquisite contrast between a jealousy and a loving-kindness in the octave of the sonnet titled "Addressed to Haydon." This paper investigates "Unnumbered souls breathe out a still applause. Proud to behold him in his country's eye" in the sestet of the sonnet titled "Addressed to Haydon", on the basis of "The First Book of the Kings" in the Holy Bible: 'And after the earthquake a fire: but the LORD was not in the fire: and after a still small voice (19:12).'
