In Ode to Autumn, the author describes autumn as a "season of maturity and fruit" and a day of "bringing blessings". All the sights or images written here are not general descriptions, not simple reflections, but with the poet's interpretation (or emotional expression). For example, sunshine is "the sunshine that makes everything mature" and regards sunshine as a "good friend" in autumn. Autumn written by Keats is full of joy. There are tangible fruits that can be seen and touched on vines, and there are intangible fruits that only poets can imagine, such as "the fruit is ripe in the heart"
The "mysterious shadow" in "Not Death, Love" once gave poetry an ominous and terrible smell, but in the end, the "silver answer" dispelled this smell and made poetry suddenly enlightened.
The "bitch" in "Dog Song" is an image full of maternal love, which has experienced joys and sorrows and tasted the ups and downs in one day. At the same time, a heartbroken mother's love for the next generation is visible and tangible through animal symbols.

3. Appreciate the connotation of the work
Ode to Autumn: It is considered by many critics to be the most perfect of Keats' ode. The theme of this poem is the warmth and richness of autumn. Everyone praises the beauty of spring, but the poet thinks the maturity of autumn is equally lovely. By pursuing and advocating art and beauty, he expressed his hatred and dissatisfaction with the British reality at that time, thus resisting evil and subliming real life. In a sense, the source of beauty in Keats' poems is reality.
It's not death, it's love: this poem begins with the Greeks' beautiful lament about time, and then returns to the present, comparing the threat of disease and death to "pieces of dark shadows", and the domination of fate over people is also dramatically manifested as mysterious dark shadows; At the end of the poem, the affirmation of love replaces the fear of death.
Song of Dogs tells a complete story. The poet did not intervene in the story, but maintained an emotional restraint. By materializing feelings, the love of a heartbroken mother for the next generation is made visible and tangible through animal symbols. Make it have amazing artistic charm.
In-depth analysis and key interpretation
1. Taste the sentence
(1) The poet wrote at the beginning, "Autumn is full of fog and ripe fruit,/and you have become friends with the mature sun; What's the role?
The poet sensitively observed that in autumn and winter, the morning is always foggy and the evening is always shrouded in dusk. The short word "Meng Meng" accurately sums up the time and points out the natural characteristics of late autumn. Then, I immediately pointed out the theme of the first poem: fruitful autumn Autumn is a mature season, everything is nourished by sunshine and rain, and has borne fruit after spring and summer. Therefore, it is a clever metaphor that autumn and the sun become close friends, and it is also a very reasonable and appropriate metaphor. Because the poet clearly knows that everything can mature on this day mainly with the help of the sun. This is a loyal friend, but you can't forget it. If you want to talk about autumn, you must mention it.
(2) In Song of Dogs, what does it mean to imply that the bitch has been chasing "unfrozen water"?
It shows that the puppy was drowned by its owner. The poet omitted these links in order to focus his pen and ink on describing the bitch's modality and express her deep affection and grief from the psychological level, just like describing a person.
2. Appreciation and evaluation
Qiusong
-"Ode to Autumn"
This is an autumn chorus, a touching pastoral symphony and a sweet voice. In the first two poems, the poet mainly showed us a beautiful autumn scenery, and in the third section, he not only used our visual organs, but also aroused our auditory organs. After reading this poem, he still feels lingering and lingering, giving people the feeling that the song is over. Because it is colorful, harmonious and seamless.
This poem is so vivid that it reminds people of the spring that gave birth to life. So are poets. When he wrote this, he couldn't help asking himself, "Where is Haruka? Hey, where's Haruka? But he immediately realized that this sad mood was unnecessary. You have your own autumn sound, why do you want to stay? "
In contrast, the poet further deepened his theme of praising autumn, swept away the sad mood of the world for autumn, injected life and sunshine into autumn, and made it glow with warm and warm light. Therefore, even in late autumn, we still can't see the gloomy scene of "autumn wind and autumn rain". Even migratory birds from spring to autumn-swallows and robins-are still flying around here, busy. After appreciating the poet's deliberately depicted autumn scenery, readers will naturally think that these migratory birds are reluctant to leave because of their lust for autumn colors. Indeed, who wants to leave here after seeing such beautiful scenery?
From this short ode, we can see that Keats is not only a pursuer of beauty, but also a positive optimist. In fact, every poem of Keats is full of optimism about loving life. It is from the point of loving reality and life that the beauty he pursues and the aesthetic feeling he praises are concrete and true, so it is quite healthy.
