I just finished reading "Ode to a Nightingale." It seemed that the speaker of the poem was wanting to die, so that he could be immortalized through his poetry. Several of the stanzas refer to sickness and in line 24 I could not really figure out if this line was specifically referring to a hospital, or just the world in general. Was John Keats sickly? I wasn't sure, so I started to research him a bit. I read several of the letters he had written in hopes of learning more and was captivated by his simple prose.
I think that I will go and read more about him.
