The Oxford Astrologer » Half in Love with Easeful Death
October 30th, 2011 @ 7:24 am by The Oxford Astrologer
Sylvia Plath was not the only poet born under Scorpio to be drawn to death’s glamour (see my previous post).
Here is an extract from Ode To A Nightingale by John Keats (born October 30).
…
Darkling I listen; and, for many a time
I have been half in love with easeful Death,
Call’d him soft names in many a mused rhyme,
To take into the air my quiet breath;
Now more than ever seems it rich to die,
To cease upon the midnight with no pain,
While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad
In such an ecstasy!
…
Like Plath, Keats was dead before turning 30.
