Dear esteemed Parents & Guardians,

 

Keats's 'Ode to a Nightingale 'is considered one of the finest odes in English literature. It reveals the higest imaginative powers of the poet.The poem was inspired by the song of Nightingale. Which the poet heard in the gardens of his friend Charles Brown.

 

It is an expression of his feelings raising in his heart at the hearing of the melodies song of the bird.He presents the picture of the tragedy of human life.It brings out an expression of his pessimism and dejection.

 

He composed this poem at the time his heart was full of sorrow.His youngest brother Tom had died.The second one had gone abroad and the poet himself was under the suspense and agony by the passionate love for Fanny Brawnie.

 

All these happenings had induced in the poet a mood of sorrow. He could not suppress it.Thus the poet enjoyed the pleasure in sadness. This complex emotions gives the poem a unique charm.

 

Let us behold the world is full of magic things.Patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
