Poetry and Immortality: John Keats' 'Ode to a Nightingale' - Professor Belinda Jack
What is Keats' poem about, and why is it one of the greatest poems ever written?

‘Thou wast not born for Death! immortal bird/ No hungry generations tread thee down.’
Keats’ ‘Ode to a Nightingale’ contains these curious lines. How can a bird be ‘immortal’? The poem is partly about immortality, but how does its complex poetic web work?
