	SparkNotes: Keats's Odes: Ode to a Nightingale
		He is addressing a nightingale he hears singing somewhere in the forest and says that his "drowsy numbness" is not from envy of the nightingale's happiness, but rather from sharing it too completely; he is "too happy" that the nightingale sings the music of summer from amid some unseen plot of green trees and shadows.
		As the nightingale flies farther away from him, he laments that his imagination has failed him and says that he can no longer recall whether the nightingale's music was "a vision, or a waking dream." Now that the music is gone, the speaker cannot recall whether he himself is awake or asleep.
		In this ode, the transience of life and the tragedy of old age ("where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs, / Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies") is set against the eternal renewal of the nightingale's fluid music ("Thou wast not born for death, immortal bird!").

	Anne Wullschlager on Keats's Ode to a Nightingale
		The composition and publication of Ode to a Nightingale is a soothing moment in a life marked with tragedy and rejection.
		Ode to a Nightingale not only waxes and wanes between these realms, it vibrates deeply with a true look at what Keats in his life has endured, and foreshadows the death to come.
		In this case the publication of Ode to a Nightingale does seem to be in concert with the poemís meaning: "the odes are analogous with experience as a whole" (Walter Jackson Bate, pg.

	Ode to a Nightingale
		A major concern in "Ode to a Nightingale" is Keats's perception of the conflicted nature of human life, i.e., the interconnection or mixture of pain/joy, intensity of feeling/numbness of feeling, life/death, mortal/immortal, the actual/the ideal, and separation/connection.
		In Stanza VI, the poet begins to distance himself from the nightingale, which he joined in imagination in stanzas IV and V. Keats yearns to die, a state which he imagines as only joyful, as pain-free, and to merge with the bird's song.
		The nightingale is characterized as wholly blissful--"full-throated ease" in stanza I and "pouring forth thy soul abroad / In such an ecstasy!" (lines 7-8).

		It is also likely that some odes were delivered not by the chorus in two parts but by the chorus as a unit moving in one direction during the strophe, then in the opposite direction during the antistrophe, and standing still during the epode.
		The modem ode, the ode in English, stems from the writings of the Greek poet Pindar and the Latin poet Horace.
		As its name indicates, the irregular ode consists of a number of stanzas that are unlike in structure-that is, in the number of lines, length of lines, and rhyme scheme.
