A short story inspired by the poem “Ode to a Nightingale” by John Keats.
—————————————————————————————
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUOfv7GQqF
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG9eKV0ZIJ
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJzKP6AHcP
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO017gFq3l
'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CT2giB8wv
But being too happy in thine happiness,— 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRkzKS3Fb3
That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0q399KS8e
In some melodious plot 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXOkMKHrXO
Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V6gJoEkkJ
Singest of summer in full-throated ease. 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp9bFaCHMw
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tmg7Lb8qk
O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsYySeL7dc
Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sqaUVC1f2
Tasting of Flora and the country green, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicw2aoPrNe
Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth! 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UQmb23JpL
O for a beaker full of the warm South, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw9qZt8rQf
Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH9j7uEtgT
With beaded bubbles winking at the brim, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVInGqur4U
And purple-stained mouth; 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMRfkRvvjP
That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nD9PBDwgR
And with thee fade away into the forest dim: 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKTkryok4M
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbJ2uAUdyp
Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6QrQflGfc
What thou among the leaves hast never known, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrjYm0gIvh
The weariness, the fever, and the fret 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsbRBoxQoa
Here, where men sit and hear each other groan; 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOJ7C0QZyW
Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbpDfLmorG
Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies; 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvgvAdKppN
Where but to think is to be full of sorrow 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdpBWBmlwG
And leaden-eyed despairs, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Flpo0KEdF
Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0iq43icZG
Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow. 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Oya62qAM5
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnManDzo93
Away! away! for I will fly to thee, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhrKrsHxyk
Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphpgOBwFXq
But on the viewless wings of Poesy, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58lITU9HJR
Though the dull brain perplexes and retards: 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50NmfIGfV4
Already with thee! tender is the night, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt8mG1KdD4
And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBD56tZ2oU
Cluster'd around by all her starry Fays; 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVy8m0PvtH
But here there is no light, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzolQLOWiS
Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGrcKgA5ys
Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways. 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUADQAauk1
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstw9QoKy53
I cannot see what flowers are at my feet, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnxRiJDcRN
Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr55eLs3l6
But, in embalmed darkness, guess each sweet 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cpGXhWZx8
Wherewith the seasonable month endows 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1mbgeJ05F
The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild; 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNEm2C5XbW
White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine; 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ItDJDDxqK
Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves; 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xq6QfHStq
And mid-May's eldest child, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMJBjhvf2O
The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5uLHm0z52
The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves. 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy3sTxyC4N
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBYdbtRdfL
Darkling I listen; and, for many a time 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMdigjjIop
I have been half in love with easeful Death, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAscCtQrJLO
Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUz8BdntWW
To take into the air my quiet breath; 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0j1Re64UH
Now more than ever seems it rich to die, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1oJG546x4
To cease upon the midnight with no pain, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGvksimWeA
While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsqCxelrBU
In such an ecstasy! 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI50tYWhhx1
Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain— 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4kpFsxMxA
To thy high requiem become a sod. 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv1R2NZAO1
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3pWYTjihu
Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsWhBIyWhO
No hungry generations tread thee down; 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFYsnXIgek
The voice I hear this passing night was heard 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCtCoZGnrf
In ancient days by emperor and clown: 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0y7xbgK3i
Perhaps the self-same song that found a path 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I3KZMERVi
Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwSS1H5iSC
She stood in tears amid the alien corn; 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKCTrFlRZm
The same that oft-times hath 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaWPiwzQOj
Charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUutDrcrJd
Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn. 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HDiDx9tYL
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtV0QVOJlx
Forlorn! the very word is like a bell 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iK4gXFZjW
To toll me back from thee to my sole self! 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInGX3INxWv
Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY0rXXh2Bb
As she is fam'd to do, deceiving elf. 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzRTaF6tdk
Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7MdOO0XmY
Past the near meadows, over the still stream, 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hH3MLb4X2
Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Y1IULzdN
In the next valley-glades: 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsfFqn8o5B
Was it a vision, or a waking dream? 222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRxOlAvvC6
Fled is that music:—Do I wake or sleep?
