John keats is haunted by the conflict between the ideal world and the real world." discuss this statement in relation to his poem "ode to a nightingale."

Answer and Explanation:

In "ode to a nightingale" Keats presents the confrontation between his perception of the real and the ideal world through the song that a roxinou intones. For the speaker, the song is so poetical and full of ephemerality that it throws him into an illusion about a world as poetical and beautiful as the song and the feelings it emanates. However, with the end of the song, the speaker wakes up from this feeling of illusion and is faced with the real world that does not have the same delicacy and poetry of the ideal world. At that moment, the speaker awakens to the real nature of himself and the world and feels like dying. This confrontation between the real world and the ideal world can be seen in the lines:

"Forlorn! the very word is like a bell/ To toll me back from thee to my sole self! / Adieu! the fancy cannot cheat so well."  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
