Glory and loveliness have passed away; For if we wander out in early morn, No wreathed incense do we see upborne Into the east, to meet the smiling day: No crowd of nymphs soft voicd and young, and gay, In woven baskets bringing ears of corn, Roses, and pinks, and violets, to adorn The shrine of Flora in her early May. But there are left delights as high as these, And I shall ever bless my destiny, That in a time, when under pleasant trees Pan is no longer sought, I feel a free A leafy luxury, seeing I could please With these poor offerings, a man like thee.

Upon a time, before the faery broods Drove Nymph and Satyr from the prosperous woods, Before King Oberons bright diadem, Sceptre, and mantle, claspd with dewy gem, Frighted away the Dryads and the Fauns From rushes green, and brakes, and cowslipd lawns, The ever-smitten Hermes empty left His golden throne, bent warm on amorous theft: From high Olympus had he stolen light, On this side of Joves clouds, to escape the sight Of his great summoner, and made retreat Into a forest on the shores of Crete.

"Las Odas representan un lugar donde vivir, y donde conseguir, viviendo, algo de aquella maduración espiritual a que él se refería en otra carta en la que ve al mundo como una escuela, y al corazón humano no solo como la cartilla usada en ella para el aprendizaje, sino como la biblia del pensamiento, su experiencia, el pezon de donde mama su identidad. Con semejantes ideas, ¿como va a agotarse su poesia en una mera fabricacion de lujo mas o menos primoroso, cuando quien la escribe plantea al existir una exigencia tal? De ser solamente eso, no le serviria. No: es, en efecto, el producto, el destilado final de una experiencia en la que se juega todo el ser, el camino hacia una maduracion espiritual que ha de conseguirse en lucha (en su caso, especialmente apremiante) contra la urgencia del tiempo."

John Keats, que había nacido en Londres en 1795, murió en Roma sin haber cumplido los veintiséis años. Para cualquier lector desprejuiciado del género, a diferencia de otros escritores tanto o más meteoricos que el, dejo sentado que la ambicion del arte puede ser un bien social, un acuerdo que eleva y es feliz para todos. Su "dicha para siempre" es la del oven eterno entregado a la palabra, refundador perpetuo del gesto de escribir poesia tan humana que habla sin cesar de la belleza y su verdad posible, esa fe que no se le rehusa a nadie y nunca habra de morir.
