    Here the poet John Keats is bringing out the mindset condition of those people who dream about visiting some distant place that they imagine would be different, mesmerizing, dreamy, heaven-like, and so on. And once they reach the place, they feel a sense of disappointment that everything is just the same as in the place where they permanently reside and that the new place after all holds no special charm as they imagined while they were reading about it in the books. So some of us are in such a situation at some or other point in our life! So, John Keats is not talking about a naughty boy in his poem. He is talking about the Naughty Boys in us!
