Ode to a Nightingale

John Keat is in a state of numbness and drowsiness from listening to the nightingale. He envied the nightingale's carefree life. The speaker wanted to drink alcohol as a way to escape life's problems. He realized that life was painful,the young die, and the old suffer. The speaker started using his imagination to spiritually lift him up to see the moon and stars, but he was really seeing glimmering light. He feels like it wouldn't be so bad to die in the forest with the nightingale singing. I think the nightingale is immortal, because numerous kinds of generations of people have heard its' song throughout history. The speaker regains consciousness when the nightingale flies away. He was very confused; not knowing the difference between dreams and reality.
