What is your favorite line or lines from the ode? The choice is, of course,personal, but give your reasons, if possible, for your choice
What will be an ideal response?
- There is no single answer to this open question, but here are two of our favorites. The line “I have been half in love with easeful Death” (line 52) is famous; it is a perfect pentameter line, and a striking one, thanks largely to the surprising word “easeful.” “Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird!” (line 61) is also a famous line, which quite neatly sums up the Romantic poets’ sensibility, viewing a bird not as a mortal being but as a part of undying nature. Also note the words “tender is the night,” which F. Scott Fitzgerald borrowed for the title for his famous novel.
