"Macbeth Moir acclaimed ""four exquisite odes,—'To a Nightingale,' 'To a Grecian Urn,' 'To Melancholy,' and 'To Autumn,'—all so pregnant with deep thought, so picturesque in their limning, and so suggestive."" In 1865, Matthew Arnold singled out the ""indefinable delicacy, charm, and perfection of [...] Keats's [touch] in his Autumn"". John Dennis, in an 1883 work about great poets, wrote that ""the 'Ode to Autumn', ripe with the glory of the season it describes—must ever have a place among the most precious gems of lyrical poetry."" The 1888 Britannica declared, ""Of these [odes] perhaps the two nearest to absolute perfection, to"

Following the month of May 1819, he began to tackle other forms of poetry, including a play, some longer pieces, and a return to his unfinished epic, ""Hyperion"". His brother's financial woes continued to loom over him, and, as a result, Keats had little energy or inclination for composition, but, on 19 September 1819, he managed to squeeze out ""To Autumn"", his last major work and the one that rang the curtain down on his career as a poet. After writing ""Ode"

After the month of May, he began to pursue other forms of poetry, including the verse tragedy ""Otho the Great"" in collaboration with friend and roommate Charles Brown, the second half of ""Lamia"", and a return to his unfinished epic ""Hyperion"". His efforts from spring until autumn were dedicated completely to a career in poetry, alternating between writing long and short poems, and setting himself a goal to compose more than fifty lines of verse each day. In his free time he also read works as varied as Robert Burton's"
"Hyperion (Hölderlin novel) Hyperion is an epistolary novel by German poet Friedrich Hölderlin. Originally published in two volumes in 1797 (Volume 1) and 1799 (Volume 2), respectively, the full title is Hyperion; or, The Hermit in Greece (German: """"Hyperion; oder, Der Eremit in Griechenland""""). Each volume is divided into two books, with each second book including an epigraph from Sophocles. The work is told in the form of letters from the protagonist, Hyperion, to his German friend Bellarmin, alongside a few letters between Hyperion and his love Diotima in the second volume of the novel, and is noted for its"
"""All day I am weary and sad ... and at night I cry myself to sleep like a child."" ""Hyperion"" was inspired in part by his trips to Europe as well as his then-unsuccessful courtship of Frances Appleton, daughter of businessman Nathan Appleton. In the book, Flemming falls in love with an Englishwoman, Mary Ashburton, who rejects him. Longfellow's first prose work, ""Outre-Mer"" (1835), was met with an indifferent reception. Its lackluster performance as well as Longfellow's commitments to his Harvard College professorship prevented him from producing significant literary works for a time until his poem ""A Psalm of Life"""
"Hyperion (Longfellow novel) Hyperion: A Romance is one of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's earliest works, published in 1839. It is a prose romance which was published alongside his first volume of poems, ""Voices of the Night"". ""Hyperion"" follows a young American protagonist named Paul Flemming as he travels through Germany. The character's wandering is partially inspired by the death of a friend. The author had also recently lost someone close to him. Longfellow's first wife, Mary Storer Potter, died in Rotterdam in the Netherlands after a miscarriage in 1836; Longfellow was deeply saddened by her death and noted in his diary:"

Following this in a 1934 analysis of Romantic poetry, Margaret Sherwood stated that the poem was ""a perfect expression of the phase of primitive feeling and dim thought in regard to earth processes when these are passing into a thought of personality."" Harold Bloom, in 1961, described ""To Autumn"" as ""the most perfect shorter poem in the English language."" Following this, Walter Jackson Bate,"
"The Fall of Hyperion: A Dream The Fall of Hyperion: A Dream, sometimes subtitled as ""A Vision"" instead of a dream, is an epic poem written by the English Romantic John Keats. Keats composed ""The Fall of Hyperion"" by reworking, expanding, and personally narrating lines from his earlier fragmented epic poem ""Hyperion"". The poem was abandoned before Keats's death. The poem begins with lyrical argument to introduce the work. In it, the narrator introduces the idea that the poem could be either a dream or a vision, and is unsure of which. The poem is divided into three scenes before"

Wordsworth used the form for many of the ""Lyrical Ballads"" (1798 and 1800), and for his longest efforts, ""The Prelude"" and ""The Excursion"". Wordsworth's verse recovers some of the freedom of Milton's, but is generally far more regular: Coleridge's blank verse is more technical than Wordsworth's, but he wrote little of it: His so-called ""conversation Poems"" such as ""The Eolian Harp"" and ""Frost at Midnight"" are the best known of his blank verse works.

After Keats, there have been comparatively few major odes in English. One major exception is the fourth verse of the poem ""For the Fallen"" by Laurence Binyon, which is often known as ""The Ode to the Fallen"", or simply as ""The Ode"". W.H.

"John Keats's 1819 odes In 1819, John Keats composed six odes, which are among his most famous and well-regarded poems. Keats wrote the first five poems, ""Ode on a Grecian Urn"", ""Ode on Indolence"", ""Ode on Melancholy"", ""Ode to a Nightingale"", and ""Ode to Psyche"" in quick succession during the spring, and he composed ""To Autumn"" in September. While the exact order in which Keats composed the poems is unknown, some critics contend that they form a thematic whole if arranged in sequence. As a whole, the odes represent Keats's attempt to create a new type of short lyrical poem,"

Later, in 1973, Stuart Sperry wrote, To Autumn' succeeds through its acceptance of an order innate in our experience – the natural rhythm of the seasons. It is a poem that, without ever stating it, inevitably suggests the truth of 'ripeness is all' by developing, with a richness of profundity of implication, the simple perception that ripeness is fall.""

It is possible that ""Ode to a Nightingale"" was written between 26 April and 18 May 1819, based on weather conditions and similarities between images in the poem and those in a letter sent to Fanny Brawne on May Day. The poem was composed at the Hampstead house Keats shared with Brown, possibly while sitting beneath a plum tree in the garden. According to Keats' friend Brown, Keats finished the ode in just one morning: ""In the spring of 1819 a nightingale had"

Shelley's initial admiration of Keats was ambiguous: his reception to Keats' ""Endymion"" was largely unfavorable, while he found his later work, ""Hyperion"", to be the highest example of contemporary poetry.
