 note = {John Keats coined the phrase “Negative Capability” in a letter to his brother in 1817 when he spoke of a particular “quality” that went into forming a “Man of
Achievement” in literature. He define this quality as akin to a state of mind “when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact & reason – .” Generally, the term has been understood to refer to a capability utilized by the poet in the early stages of composition. This understanding of the term may owe its origins to Keats' commentary on Coleridge's inability to remain in “mystery” and “half knowledge” in the early phases of composition: “Coleridge, for instance, would let go by a fine isolated verisimilitude caught from the Penetralium of mystery, from being incapable of remaining content with half knowledge.” The poetics of William Stafford draw upon the theory of Keats and extend it beyond the early stage of writing. This paper examines how Stafford uses the theory of Keats – how he elaborates upon it to – and reaches a fully articulation of its implications.},
