Analysis of The Poetry Of Keats

George Meredith 1828 (Portsmouth, Hampshire) – 1909 (Box Hill, Surrey)



The song of a nightingale sent thro' a slumbrous valley,
Low-lidded with twilight, and tranced with the dolorous sound,
Tranced with a tender enchantment; the yearning of passion
That wins immortality even while panting delirious with death.
