A thing of beauty is a joy forever - it will never pass into nothingness;.......What could it be?

He further adds-Its loveliness increases:


The poet Keats, was probably not referring worldly beauty, coz it is transient. It will always pass into nothingness!A thing of beauty is a joy forever - it will never pass into nothingness;.......What could it be?
My soul is beautiful before God, and my soul shall never pass into nothingless. A soul does not die. It is either going to live eternally in heaven with God or be eternally separated in hell...far from God.





Question: ';Do we have two or three parts? Body, soul, and spirit?';





Answer: Genesis 1:26-27 declares, “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”





These verses indicate that there is something that makes humanity distinct from all the other creations. Human beings were intended to have a relationship with God, and as such, God created us with both material and immaterial aspects. The material aspects are obviously those that are tangible: the physical body, organs, etc. and are considered to only exist as long as the person is alive. The immaterial aspects are those which are intangible: soul, spirit, intellect, will, conscience, etc. These characteristics are considered to exist beyond the physical lifespan of the individual.





All human beings possess both material and immaterial characteristics. It is clear that all mankind has a body containing flesh, blood, bones, organs and cells. However, it is the intangible qualities of mankind that are often debated. What does Scripture say about these? Genesis 2:7 states that Man was created as a living soul. Numbers 16:22: “But Moses and Aaron fell face down and cried out, ‘O God, God of the spirits of all mankind, will you be angry with the entire assembly when only one man sins?’”? This verse names God as the God of the spirits that are possessed by all mankind. Proverbs 4:23: Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” This verse indicates that the heart is central to man’s will and emotions. Acts 23:1: “Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, ‘My brothers, I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day.’” Here Paul refers to the conscience, that part of the mind that convicts us of right and wrong. Romans 12:2: “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” It can be seen from these verses that there are various aspects of the immaterial part of humanity, and that all human beings share both material and immaterial qualities. This list of references just scratches the surface.





So, while much of the discussion of the immaterial aspect of humanity focuses on the soul and spirit, Scripture outlines far more than those two. Somehow, the aspects mentioned above (soul, spirit, heart, conscience, and mind) are connected and interrelated. The soul and spirit, though, definitely are the primary immaterial aspects of humanity. They likely comprise the other aspects. With this is mind, is humanity dichotomous (cut in two, body / soul-spirit), or trichotomous (cut in three, body / soul / spirit). It is impossible to be dogmatic. There are good arguments for both views. A key verse is Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” This scripture tells us at least two thing about this debate. The soul and spirit can be divided, and the division of soul and spirit is something that only the Word of God can discern. We can be sure that as human beings, we possess a body, a soul, a spirit, and much more! However, rather than focusing on these aspects, it is better to focus on the Creator, because of whom we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14).A thing of beauty is a joy forever - it will never pass into nothingness;.......What could it be?
the idea of beauty is the thing





beauty when faced with time would increase because it does the opposite in reality.





(don't click on that it may be a virus thing-a-mejig)
...the love for the love of my life...my wife...


...thanks for asking...
True joy and happiness is found in a Higher being like God, Jesus est.


So, if you put all of what the righter says in this together;


The only thing that will never pass away you can find in the Bible and that the God.


And I am sure that other religions have something like it.
Truth, Good and Beauty - satyam, shivam sundaram - is the nature of Reality/Existence. Hence it can not be transient or nothingness. Beauty as an emotional feeling is transitory, not as manifestation of existence.
Yes! You are very right!


It was not the thing or its beauty that Keats ware referring to.


It was( and also ';is';) the joy that remains for ever!
Love!

The only thing I can think of here is; ';God's Love';. :D
