It marked the opening of a term of the civil and criminal courts and is officially addressed to the judges and officers of the court, exhorting them to deal justly. Along with his colleagues, including John Henry Newman and Edward Pusey , he became a leading light in the movement but did not follow Newman into the Catholic Church. In , his father died, and Keble and his sister retired from Fairford to Coln.

In the same year, he married Miss Clarke and the vicarage of Hursley , becoming vacant, was offered to him; he accepted. In , neighbour, Charlotte Mary Yonge , resident at Otterbourne House in the adjacent village of Otterbourne , where Keble was responsible for building a new church, compiled The Child's Christian Year: Hymns for every Sunday and Holy-Day to which Keble contributed four poems, including Bethlehem, above all cities blest. In , he wrote one of his more important works, his treatise on Eucharistical Adoration , written in support of George Denison , who had been attacked for his views on the Eucharist.

In , he published his edition of Hooker's Works. In , he began to edit, in conjunction with Pusey and Newman, the Library of the Fathers. A volume of Academical and Occasional Sermons appeared in Extracts from a number of his verses found their way into popular collections of Hymns for Public Worship, such as "The Voice that Breathed o'er Eden" , [7] "Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear , [8] "Blest are the pure in heart" and "New every morning is the love". Lyra Innocentium was being composed while Keble was stricken by what he always seems to have regarded as the great sorrow of his life, the decision of Newman to leave the Church of England for Catholicism.

Keble died in Bournemouth on 29 March at the Hermitage Hotel, after visiting the area to try and recover from a long term illness as he believed the sea air had therapeutic qualities. He is buried in All Saints' churchyard, Hursley. He was absolutely without ambition, with no care for the possession of power or influence, hating show and excitement, and distrustful of his own abilities Though shy and awkward with strangers, he was happy and at ease among his friends, and their love and sympathy drew out all his droll playfulness of wit and manner In personal appearance he was about middle height, with rather square and sloping shoulders, which made him look short until he pulled himself up, as he often did with 'sprightly dignity.

Keble's feast day is kept on 14 July the anniversary of his Assize Sermon in the Church of England , and a commemoration observed on 29 March the anniversary of his death elsewhere in the Anglican Communion. Read more Read less. Here's how restrictions apply.

Keble's feast day is kept on 14 July the anniversary of his Assize Sermon in the Church of England , and a commemoration observed on 29 March the anniversary of his death elsewhere in the Anglican Communion. The view from Bulverton Hill, Sidmouth, where Keble was a frequent visitor, is thought to have inspired some of his best loved work. The hill commands a panoramic view of the Lower Otter Valley and Dartmoor in the distance. Keble's mind was, by long, patient and affectionate study of Scripture, so imbued with it that its language, its train of thought, its mode of reasoning, seems to flow out into his poetry, almost, one should think, unconsciously to himself.
