A short story inspired by the poem “Ode to a Nightingale” by John Keats.
—————————————————————————————
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdEEAt900N
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs59vVDG3wi
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXu2d9tMfL
One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmOrBeQ5uA
'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4xfvCmmvX
But being too happy in thine happiness,— 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Wvfa7lKb
That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlZYvApv1Z
In some melodious plot 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteqeYTupcQ
Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOFAFspViZ
Singest of summer in full-throated ease. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR5SaH88IF
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g9a7xNHEs
O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvvIKA2HBk
Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuiXMndfsP
Tasting of Flora and the country green, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7C7rUhmPf
Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth! 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzMwEiNS7b
O for a beaker full of the warm South, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym2hScdX1v
Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv3I3XuQTr
With beaded bubbles winking at the brim, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl64wjaatQ
And purple-stained mouth; 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr4QKtTAwl
That I might drink, and leave the world unseen, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGUoGXdpJE
And with thee fade away into the forest dim: 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr1eUHC1rD
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRVnIsG8Bq
Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUSk5IRd4H
What thou among the leaves hast never known, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcmwgNZrtt
The weariness, the fever, and the fret 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLPiyd4GOG
Here, where men sit and hear each other groan; 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vj7agCtMM
Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnYVMXvzo2
Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies; 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4TrhBKowY
Where but to think is to be full of sorrow 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmSazYSx0J
And leaden-eyed despairs, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nGFC8nuh8
Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw3hTyiU4A
Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul2ETSex9K
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvL5ynOm3p
Away! away! for I will fly to thee, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeOGiDVNaP
Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboB6tbhLoG
But on the viewless wings of Poesy, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP20S1ROBN
Though the dull brain perplexes and retards: 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAyTLihEEm
Already with thee! tender is the night, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQtB4WflvL
And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszVlbgBtco
Cluster'd around by all her starry Fays; 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjRkItyrk5
But here there is no light, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5hq8A4jZS
Save what from heaven is with the breezes blown 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJjPJcnF19
Through verdurous glooms and winding mossy ways. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw9PqLd9Nb
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2J7WbOMxD
I cannot see what flowers are at my feet, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc91L4y6gH9
Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6g2YdtcL3
But, in embalmed darkness, guess each sweet 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJKc4JKqu0
Wherewith the seasonable month endows 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkJkfqXVOh
The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild; 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYQKVfrCCq
White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine; 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsZskLDOxZ
Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves; 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEBbhbrdKn
And mid-May's eldest child, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1W3hJio4I
The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQmLfIGj4i
The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNtkLB7KkZ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLBmHz5E7J
Darkling I listen; and, for many a time 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnC9vEGzKH
I have been half in love with easeful Death, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb4SLm898N
Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41HaFvTTj4
To take into the air my quiet breath; 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrV2LIK9W6
Now more than ever seems it rich to die, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwSVoyUjzN
To cease upon the midnight with no pain, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX2aVE9hh2
While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9y9ljqpyP
In such an ecstasy! 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7rtry3jek
Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain— 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPOxpOYK91
To thy high requiem become a sod. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vBf9X5Men
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQo53cw9ES
Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5s9QV4Odv
No hungry generations tread thee down; 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGTXabdjYZ
The voice I hear this passing night was heard 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AQfYPobAX
In ancient days by emperor and clown: 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aD2ZyJYWE
Perhaps the self-same song that found a path 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJNlVm5aA0
Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BIvDcX8ra
She stood in tears amid the alien corn; 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80qUORZlMI
The same that oft-times hath 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9wZd2YKax
Charm'd magic casements, opening on the foam 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBR9DV1aKZ
Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPksYmUSIx
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOqciUi5Ur
Forlorn! the very word is like a bell 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfxCPLY87G
To toll me back from thee to my sole self! 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8NGot6LUh
Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljSWBDz5Yg
As she is fam'd to do, deceiving elf. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIs06vOULK
Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW6yIIoTOR
Past the near meadows, over the still stream, 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAGzseELxe
Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPqZrSebgA
In the next valley-glades: 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTjHhBhHEP
Was it a vision, or a waking dream? 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBqWD7Jrdd
Fled is that music:—Do I wake or sleep?
