Ode to Autumn
by John Keats
'Ode to Autumn' Summary
“Ode to Autumn” is a sonnet by John Keats, considered one of his most celebrated works. Written in 1819, it is a meditation on the beauty and bounty of the autumn season, contrasting the vibrant harvest with the approach of winter and its associated decline. Keats uses vivid imagery and personification to capture the essence of autumn, highlighting the ripeness of fruit, the sounds of the harvest, and the vibrant colors of the natural world. The poem is often interpreted as an exploration of time's passage and the inevitability of death, but it ultimately celebrates the beauty and richness of life, even in the face of decay.Book Details
