By the time Keats wrote this poem, he knew he might die young fromtuberculosis. Do you see any evidence of this knowledge in the text of the poem?

  • The line about how “youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies,” reads like a vision of his own fate. It is also a vivid recollection of the death of Keats’s brother Tom (see introductory note above). The speaker is clearly haunted by the image of suffering and death. Otherwise, it seems strange for a young man to say that even “to think is to be full of sorrow.”
