John Keats' Purple Quote!
He adds, 'It's what we know & need to know'!
Why has he used 'A Thing' & Not 'A Person'?
Are beautiful persons looked at as no more than 'Things'?
Waiting to hear from you.

It is more by way of taking the poll.
How many agree & how many don't.

Maybe because people don't last forever...that's my guess. Although my kids will be beautiful forever, even if they turn ugly. But Moms always see things a little differently I know...

no i don't think so...he maybe meant that beauty is some thing a person has for example this girl has a nice beautiful smile !! so that's considered beauty it's the thing that made her beautiful!! i hope you understood what i mean ^_^ thank you.

Things do not decompose and die at the rate of human flesh, so I'm guessing he was talking about something with a little more longevity than humans.

A person can be a thing in this context.
