Song Of The Nightingale Comments

Emmanuel, do you know ODE TO A NIGHTINGALE by John Keats? It may be my favorite single poem. Your poem and Keats's speak to each other. Both see the nightingale as a creature from a place anterior to, and above the human zone which means the bird's song will always be bitter sweet, reminding us of what we cannot possess the bird's total absorption in that beauty it helps to create. That' how Shelley described Keats AFTER DEATH = HE IS A PART OF THAT LOVELINESS YOU ONCE MADE MORE LOVELY, I write this because I firmly believe we are part of a tradition of many other POETS. We live among them so we echo them, Long may we thrive! !
