        <description><![CDATA[The word "still" marks a change of tone in the poem.

        <description><![CDATA[The possible denotations of that repeated "still" are the possible literal definitions of what still means.  First of all, it means holding one's position for a long time, not moving, remaining immobilized.  This is significant because he wants to remain with his love, feeling her "ripening breast" and "tender-taken breath", while remaining completely still and motionless, just like the stars are, which he talks about in the first part of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[My favorite Keats poem is &quot;Ode to a Grecian Urn&quot;.  There are plenty of images there--the lovers just before they kiss under a tree in Spring, the tree that never loses its leaves, the cow being led by the priest to its sacrifice, the town empty of all people and movement.  He uses the theme of beauty here, which is also a romantic element as the romantics celebrated the beauty of nature in their works.  Keats says...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Death. More specifically, in those first four lines, Keats is afraid that he will die before he gets a chance to write all the ideas that are piled up in his brain. He's an ambitious artist, and he wants to achieve those ambitions before he dies.]]></description>
