Many critics consider Keats' odes to be among his greatest works of poetry. Each ode is a disvowal of a previous solution; but none could achieve its own momentary stability without the support of the antecedently constructed style. As other romantic poets do, Keats regards the imagination as the most important factor in creating poetry. After experiencing the aesthetic world by dint of imagination, Keats affirms and receives the real world. In "Ode to Psyche", Keats maintains that the poem is made by imagination. In "Ode to a Nightingale" and "Ode on a Grecian Urn", he maintains that the world of art and imagination is much more beautiful and eternal than sensual world. He concludes that Beauty is truth, truth is Beauty. However, In "Ode on a Melancholy", Keats receives the transition of nature and the mortality of man. At last, In "To Autumn", Keats acknowledges the order of nature and the harmony of life and death, so there is a dialectic unity. Throughout the odes, He forms the vale of soul-making by making use of the arduous real life. Futhermore, he accepts the transcendence of nature and the mortality of man as a truth of life.
