- Almost inevitably, the word nightingales calls to mind John Keats’s “Ode to a Nightingale,” and perhaps even William Butler Yeats’s “Sailing to Byzantium,” with its mechanical golden singing bird; both of these great poems pursue an end of suffering through things that transcend the human—not unlike the heaven that is exalted by psalms. Thus, the speaker might be seen here as standing apart from these “towering dead” poets and mystics who turned toward a peace beyond our human woes, and instead making common cause with the lovers who are helplessly enmeshed in life’s “griefs.”
