Ode to a Nightingale
What is the significance of the word 'forlorn'?
At the beginning of the eighth stanza of 'Ode to a Nightingale' , the word 'forlorn' tolls like a bell to restore the speaker from his preoccupation with the nightingale and back into himself. It is only this that the nightingale flies away.
The poet had, for a while, forgotten the real world which is full of "weariness fever and the fret." The Nightingale's song has inspired him and aroused his imagination. With its help he had for a while transported himself into the dark forest where the nightingale sings.But the word ' forlorn' used as a sad reminder to him that he, too, is in reality forlorn. All of a sudden, he wakes up from his beautiful day-dream, and becomes aware of his worries and difficulties.
