The last stanza of the poem is inspired. <br /><br />“That beauty is otherworldly is true, but can it not be earthly too?”<br /><br />subtly echoes the ethereal close in Ode to a Nightingdale by Keats:<br /><br />“Was it a vision, or a waking dream? Fled is that music:—Do I wake or sleep?”<br /><br />A lovely, thoughtfully rendered contemplation of “beauty”.<br />Wendy Bourkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475940407969993348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-89076220753693467222015-06-15T18:43:24.575-04:002015-06-15T18:43:24.575-04:00... must we leave it just ...

I have never seen nor heard a Nightingale before, and like you, I can only make an impression of it from poems like Keats', etc. I once wrote a poem about a Nightingale before where I associate her song to have brought back the Old World romances.
