I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.

keatsbabe:

The best reading of John Keats’ wonderful Ode to a Nightingale so far, in my humble opinion of course. Ben Wishaw reads it without the public or drama school accent that would be so unlike Keats’ own.

This poem has inspired so many poets and writers in the past 190 odd years. To my shame I only found out recently that F. Scott Fitzgerald took the title ‘Tender is the Night’ from stanza 4.
