This poem by Keats, is based around one man’s journey through a forest, he sees a nightingale and is amazed by it’s song. ...
Keats bases the poem around a strong reluctance to live, and a passion about death, he says he is “in love with easeful death”. He realises his human limitations and is envious of the nightingale’s freedom, away from “the weariness, the fever, and the fret” that comes from being human. Keats, being a human means that “to think is to be full of sorrow” when you realise that your “youth grows pale, and spectre thin, and dies”. ... Keats describes nature in detail, “fading violets” “the grass, the thicket, and the fruit tree wild” and more importantly the way in which the nightingale sings in “full-throated ease”, the sound of its voice allows Keats to fly “on the viewless wings of poesy”.
