It may sound cliche, but it is what it is--a beautiful homage to Fall. It is always wonderful to find another fan of Keats' beautiful poetry. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. Have a wonderful weekend. Cheers!

I just love the way it appeals to the sense of sight, sound, taste and touch. It's a very sensual poems and I always feel rather heady when I read it. I don;t that Keats intended any other meaning besides just describing how much Autumn meant to him. Layers don't seem plausible in this poem...Songhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707280327803432082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-69775279252562818582011-10-19T19:27:59.538-07:002011-10-19T19:27:59.538-07:00Brenna, Jillian, and JoAnn--

I am so glad that you all liked the poem, it is one of my faves.<br /><br />Jillian, I do think the poem can be read, and interpreted, on several levels; but this is one of those poems where I just sit back and enjoy the poem's imagery and construction and simply marvel.<br /><br />I still fondly remember a two-semester course I took in college on the English Romantic poets. It was truly and eye-opening experience. It was also quite humbling as I remember it seemed as though it took me forever to catch on to the 'interpretation' part of it all. Bear in mind that I was a geology major in a class full of English majors, but I hung in there and got an 'A' in the class, both semesters! ;-)<br /><br />Again, thanks for your visit!

I've just rediscovered poetry this year and appreciate your thoughts on this one.

I don't see a lot of contemplation on death or art. I think sometimes an autumn is just an autumn. :-)<br /><br />But -- now I want to reread this work as death, etc. I love that poetry offers so many interpretations, and relies so certainly on the perspective of the reader.<br /><br />I love Keats!! And this poem is a favorite of mine.<br /><br />Also, beautiful photograph!<br /><br />Cheers, Chris. :-)*ೃ༄ Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139487177036647728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818799708058096084.post-78358404277647477992011-10-19T14:20:10.946-07:002011-10-19T14:20:10.946-07:00Beautiful poem about the most beautiful of seasons...Beautiful poem about the most beautiful of seasons.
