Ode Poem by John Keats
Ode
Bards of Passion and of Mirth,
Ye have left your souls on earth!
Have ye souls in heaven too,
Double lived in regions new?
Yes, and those of heaven commune
With the spheres of sun and moon;
With the noise of fountains wound'rous,
And the parle of voices thund'rous;
With the whisper of heaven's trees
And one another, in soft ease.
Seated on Elysian lawns
Brows'd by none but Dian's fawns;
Underneath large blue-bells tented,
Where the daisies are rose-scented,
And the rose herself has got
Perfume which on earth is not;
Where the nightingale doth sing
Not a senseless, tranced thing,
But divine melodious truth;
Philosophic numbers smooth;
Tales and golden histories
Of heaven and its mysteries.
Thus ye live on high, and then
On the earth ye live again;
And the souls ye left behind you
Teach us, here, the way to find you,
Where your other souls are joying,
Never slumber'd, never cloying.
Here, your earth-born souls still speak
To mortals, of their little week;
Of their sorrows and delights;
Of their passions and their spites;
Of their glory and their shame;
What doth strengthen and what maim.
Thus ye teach us, every day,
Wisdom, though fled far away.
Bards of Passion and of Mirth,
Ye have left your souls on earth!
Ye have souls in heaven too,
Double-lived in regions new!
such a nice tribute to poets only...KEATS CAN DO THIS.....SALUTE.
ONE: WOW! Keats again, his poem Ode as The Classic Poem Of The Day, Hooray! My most favourite poet!
TWO: ODE? John Keats has written many ODES. Keats struggled with the concept of death throughout his work. The inevitability of death! He believed that small, gradual acts of death occurred daily, and he recorded these mortal events.
THREE: Whether it is the end of a loved one's embrace, the images on an ancient urn, or the harvesting of grain in the fall, Keats saw these not only as symbols but also as actual instances of death
SIX: Keats's odes are rich with emotion and vivid imagery, inviting readers to ponder life, beauty, and mortality
FIVE: In poems like "Ode on a Grecian Urn, " he explores the idea that beautiful things—like the immortal figures on the urn—outlast mortal beings..
FOUR: Mortality and Death: Throughout his work, Keats contemplates death's inevitability.
THREE: Keats seeks refuge from life's struggles by immersing himself in the nightingale's world.
TWO: Escapism and the Imagination: "Ode to a Nightingale" also delves into escapism through the power of imagination.
