约翰济慈 (John Keats) 于1819919日写下秋赋 (To Autumn)

约翰济慈写过许多诗赋,也被许多人认为是他最伟大的诗文成就。除了这首在9月所写的「秋赋」之外,其他的作品都是在1819年的3月到6月中间所完成的。当时,他自己不但身染重病,同时也因为兄弟的去世而赶到悲伤。他很喜欢芬妮布朗 (Fanny Brawne) ,布朗后来也成为他的未婚妻。但令人遗憾的是,在1821年时,年仅26岁的约翰济慈就因为结核病而去世了。

对于大自然世界的观察与描绘乃是英国浪漫派运动所追求的目标 (浪漫式的写作风格也有将过去理想化的特质) 。包括约翰济慈、华兹华斯 (William Wordsworth) 、柯立芝 (Samuel Taylor Coleridge) 等诗人,对于梭罗 (Henry David Thoreau) 等美国作家有着深远的影响。曾经住在瓦登湖畔的梭罗,在他的手札里就承继了浪漫派诗人的常规,对周遭环境有深刻的描述。


John Keats wrote several odes, which many people say are his greatest poetic achievements. With the exception of "To Autumn" which he wrote in September, he wrote all the odes between March and June of 1819. During this time, he was struggling with a fatal illness as well as mourning the death of his brother. He also had an intense love affair with Fanny Brawne, who later became his fiancée. Sadly, John Keats died from tuberculosis at the age of 26 in 1821.

Observation and description of the natural world were typical of the English Romantic movement (Romantic writing is characterized by an idealization of the past.) Poets John Keats, William Wordsworth, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge had an influence on American writers such as Henry David Thoreau. Living on Walden Pond, Thoreau continued the tradition of Romantic poets in his journals describing his surroundings.
