Negative Capability, that is when man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact & reason.

Why this matters:

Keats identifies a specific kind of artistic and spiritual courage: the ability to dwell in the unknown without the ‘irritable’ need to simplify it. This capacity for ambiguity is where true creativity and profound awe are born.
