Q .
What are the special features of the autumn season according to john Keats?
Keats is a great poet of Romantic period.
In his poem” Ode to Autumn” he describes the special qualities of the season
like abundant fruitfulness, different activities of the farmers and music of
the autumn season.
The Poet says that the autumn season is full
of mists and mellow fruitfulness. It is
a close friend of the Sun. It conspires
with the Sun to bless and load the trees with fruits. It fills the fruits with
juice. The grapes, the apples, the gourds and hazel nuts are perfectly ripened
in this season. It is also season for later flowers. They attract bees. The bees think that it is still summer
because they gather much honey from the later flowers. Their hives are over flowed with honey.
The autumn is personified as a busy
farmer. He is seen sitting carelessly on
the granary floor and whose hair is lifted by the winnowing wind. Next he is seen as a reaper overcome by the
strong smell of poppies and dozes in the field.
He is also seen as a gleaner carrying sheaves of corn on his head and
crossing a brook carefully. Finally he
is seen sitting beside a cider-press and watching patiently the oozing out of
the juice.
The autumn season has its own
music. The small gnats make sorrowful
sounds. The full-grown lambs bleat from
distant hills. The hedge crickets sing
and the red breast whistles from the garden.
The swallows twitter in the Sky, as they are ready for migration. Thus
the poet describes the features of the autumn season.
