"Bright Star" is a sonnet by John Keats, a British Romantic poet. The poem, written in 1818 or 1819, is a passionate proclamation of unending, unchanging love. As the speaker admits in the poem's final line, his or her dream is frail, threatened by death and change, which finally overpower all humans. Yet even in the face of these forces, love remains strong. Love is eternal as the stars for they are bright yet they die too. Love is immortal as life itself because it is divine. It is impossible to describe how I feel about you because words get tired after a while. The word "star" has many meanings but most importantly it means "brilliant." So technically speaking, "bright star" can be understood as a beautiful or brilliant person. Keats uses this phrase to express the unchangeable nature of love. Even though both the speaker and their love are mortal, they continue to exist eternally due to love. This shows that love is stronger than time, death, and division. Love is also described as a light which cannot be extinguished even during times of darkness. This implies that even if one of the parties in the relationship disappears, the other still has enough light within them to continue being loved even if only slightly. Finally, love is defined as a feeling of pleasure or delight.
