John Keats is a pillar of the Romantic movement, but his career was tragically short. He trained as a surgeon-apothecary before turning to poetry full-time. Between 1818 and 1819, he produced some of the most sensuous and beautiful poetry in the English language, including 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' and 'To Autumn.' Keats was obsessed with the idea that beauty and truth were the same thing, famously writing: 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.' He suffered from harsh critical reviews during his life, with some critics suggesting a 'lowly' doctor's apprentice had no business writing poetry. He died of tuberculosis at the age of 25 in Rome. Because he felt he had failed to make a lasting mark, his tombstone does not bear his name, but only the words: 'Here lies one whose name was writ in water.'
