John Keats was a beauty worshipper who considered it as an unending source of joy and happiness. He explains via his poetry that an object of beauty lifts the shroud of grief and sorrow and replaces it with joy and pleasure. The beauty of anything grows with time and never fades away. Keats believed that true beauty could never be copied or reproduced by mere mortals and only exists in reality. He also said that "a thing of beauty is a joy for ever".
