From "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats, born #OTD in 1795. Read the full poem: poets.org/poem/ode-nightinga…
Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats: 7. Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird! No hungry generations tread thee down; The voice I hear this passing night was heard In ancient days by emperor and clown: Perhaps the self-same song that found a path Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home, She stood in tears amid the alien corn; The same that oft-times hath Charm’d magic casements, opening on the foam Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.

It was a great pleasure to join the European Society for Comparative Literature conference at the University of Leeds. I presented my current work on love, affection, and ethics in Iris Murdoch’s literary and philosophical works, and also had a little taste of Northern England.
