What quality of 'beauty' and 'love' does the poem highlight?
उत्तर
Romantics share a reverence for nature's beauty and find solace in her embrace. In his poem, Ode to a Nightingale, Keats realises the ultimate truth, which is death. To fight this inevitability, he celebrates the beauty of nature, in which he finds beauty through the bird's song. However, we all must die. The poet travels a journey from mortality to immortality. Keats relishes the song of the immortal nightingale and feels ecstatic. The realisation dawns upon the poet that beauty is not what we see but it lies within. And the beauty that he dwells on is of nature and it helps him to delay the ultimate, the death! However, he must die. This beauty of the bird's song, nature shall always be there, though the speaker will grow old and die one day. It is to be realised that true beauty and happiness lie in the spiritual awakening and not in this materialistic world. Nothing is permanent in this world full of momentary pleasures, neither beauty nor love.
