What consequence does the Luscinia megarhynchos have on the character? The character imagines the loss of the physical universe and relates his close revery with the bird. He struggles between the universe of idealism and world by antitheses of pleasance and hurting, imaginativeness and commonsense ground, of permanency and alteration, of nature and the human, of art and life and the waking and dream. The Luscinia megarhynchos ‘s vocal is the dominant image and tune within the ode as it is besides the object of empathy and congratulations within the verse form. The character continues to portion his felicity that the bird is able to convey him joy from singing the music of summer, amidst some unobserved secret plan of green trees and shadows. The tuneful vocal of nightingale brings about its immortality in art, animating the character to wish upon his integrity with the beautiful nature and be freed from any signifier of hurting and concerns in the mortal universe to pass through into his topographic point of ideal universe.

In what sense can this verse form be called a revery about “ get awaying ” from the universe? What possible agency of flight are suggested? Which do you believe, does the character feel is the best manner?

The character ‘s relationship with the bird clearly alterations as the text progresses and his consciousness impetuss into a dreaming, inventive infinite. The Elysian Fieldss ( a topographic point where heroes and the virtuous live after decease in the Greek mythology ) and the Luscinia megarhynchos ‘s vocal in the first half of the verse form represent the enjoyable minutes, which overwhelm the person, like a drug. However, the experience does non last everlastingly. The character felt like he desires pleasance more and is in a incapacitated province when he could non obtain what he had wished for. The accent on pleasance in the kingdom of revery is in the signifier of “ escape ” from the universe when in world, people are plagued with unwellness and agonies. The verse form relies to a great extent on the procedure of kiping and discusses both dreams in a beautiful mode, and the act of wake uping to the painful fact that he is sick. The rough world of loss and agonies contradicts to what the character feels a life should be – an ideal universe of immortality and beauty as he continues to explicate in 3rd stanza of his desire to melt off, stating he would wish to bury the problems the Luscinia megarhynchos has ne’er known: “ the fatigue, the febrility, and the fret ” of human life, with its consciousness that everything is mortal and nil stopping points. Youth will finally “ grows picket, and spectre-thin, and dies, ” and “ beauty can non maintain her bright eyes. ”

The character suggests possible agencies of escape through “ numbness strivings ” created by drug ( opiate ) that eases his strivings and non experience anything but being asleep as if whatever agony he is meeting at the minute does non be, temporarily. In the 2nd stanza, the character long for the limbo of intoxicant, showing his want for vino, “ a draft of vintage, ” that would savor like the state and like peasant dances, and allow him “ leave the universe spiritual world ” and vanish into the dim wood with the Luscinia megarhynchos. But for many times, the character yearns to decease by contemplating self-destruction, as he is “ half in love with easeful Death ” and imagines decease as being easy. He longs for a joyous, unpainful province of kingdom, and to unify with the bird ‘s vocal. He still hopes on the possibilities to “ discontinue upon the midnight with no strivings ” , notwithstanding to the fact that he is in no authorization to contend his destiny the manner he wanted it to be. Of all his raptures on escape, the character intimations for a peaceable slumber without hurting and beautiful images environing him to stop his life.

One of the basic thoughts of this poem-the permanency and changelessness of the aesthetics of are-is developed in stanza 7. Explain how this thought is developed.

The character contrasts the bird ‘s vocalizing and unsusceptibility from decease and enduring with human existences, besides known as the “ hungry coevalss ” . In the 7th stanza, the character tells the Luscinia megarhynchos that it is immortal, that it was non “ born for decease. ” Although in actual footings, the bird finally dies. The character moves his consciousness of his ain mortality in the predating stanza to the perceptual experience of the bird ‘s immortality. The stanza begins in the character ‘s present with the use of present tense verbs such as pace and hear in the first and 2nd lines of 7th stanza. He so makes three outstanding mentions to the bird ‘s vocalizing in the yesteryear. “ In ancient yearss by emperor and buffoon ” clearly was referred to as a historical yesteryear. The 2nd mention was based on the Old Testament in which “ Ruth ” is mentioned. In the 3rd mention, the past becomes more distant and outcasts with “ faery lands ” , where no human being is present in this fairy narrative. These three series of images conjure the character ‘s assorted imaginativeness after listening to the Luscinia megarhynchos ‘s joyous vocal. This bird ‘s voice he hears singing has ever been heard even from the yesteryear during the “ antediluvian ” times by the emperors and buffoons, by homesick Ruth and due to its of all time magnetizing appeal, opens up the thaumaturgy Windowss, ergo, overlooking the “ the froth / Of parlous seas, in faery lands forlorn ” .

What does Keats intend by lines 73-74: “ the illusion can non rip off so well/ as she is famed to make ” ? How does this relate to his “ forlorn ” province?

A A A A A The character says that “ fancy ” ( imaginativeness ) has cheated him. Once once more, the character is jolted out from his inventive universe to world. The character has returned to the existent universe and every dream he seized is made-believe. In the terminal, he can non waive the fact that imaginativenesss ne’er failed to ease the rough world but it can non work out jobs and even though the character may woolgather every bit much as he pleases, but all is gone one time he is snapped back to the existent universe. The poet repeats the word “ forlorn ” from the terminal of stanza 8th. The word “ forlorn ” tolls like a bell to reconstruct the talker from his preoccupation with the Luscinia megarhynchos and back into himself. The character commands “ adieu ” , farewell to the bird as the nightingale flies farther off from him. At this point, the character no longer views the bird ‘s joyous vocal every bit joyous as before but instead as one sorrow or forlorn as he is drawn back to the existent universe. Now, he laments that his imaginativeness has failed him and says that he can no longer remember whether the Luscinia megarhynchos ‘s music was “ a vision, or a wakeful dream ” , or to state his inability to remember whether he himself is awake or asleep. Like the dual significance of “ forlorn ” , the character is one time once more forlorn for being alone and unhappy in existent life every bit good as holding to confront the world of forlorn hopes and dreams, which entirely based on his imaginativeness.
