TO AUTUMN



To Autumn

( team work with fini and anita)
Task One:


Autumn leaves are like powerful yellow flames
Which can melt down the greatest glacier on earth




Autumn leaves are dancing to the wind
Though they are not ready to leave



Autumn leaves that fall to the ground peacefully
Are now crisp and crunchy
Where little animals scramble laughingly 

To Autumn

SEASON of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
  Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
  With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,        5
  And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
    To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
  And still more, later flowers for the bees,
  Until they think warm days will never cease,        10
    For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.
2.

Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
  Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
  Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;        15
Or on a half-reap’d furrow sound asleep,
  Drows’d with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
    Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
  Steady thy laden head across a brook;        20
  Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
    Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.
3.

Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
  Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,        25
  And touch the stubble plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
  Among the river sallows, borne aloft
    Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;        30
  Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
  The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
    And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.


1) The things that are different between this poem and the rest we have studied is that there is not another dimension to a imaginary world or a place that is not from reality itself. Keats admires and appreciates autumn as it is, in the present reality , in the whole of its composition. He gives the impression that autumn is not as shallow or empty as other things in the real world.

2)In the first stanza all these "maturing sun", "warm", "Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells" suggest warmth, even heat,end of summer and the approximation of autumn. in the second and third stanza there are some suggestions to the start of autumn but it also seems that autumns is lazy and tired of all that she has being doing in the first stanza. She is still missing things to do  "half-reap’d furrow". She is comfortable  warm. In the third stanza there is also alussions to heat and warmth,  " And touch the stubble plains with  rosy hue". Autumn seems to be as a shadow oc colors, thar lays down in the fields. 

3)
Time is somehitng that is very important for keats, and clearly represented in the poem as it is organized in the form of a progress, a cycle. something starts then ends, and something new starts, that the main concept that keats expresses. To show this, he uses the present continoues (ings)  "conspiting, budding, winnowing, etc". Another thing that Keats shows in its poem is the passing of time, chronology. the poem starts ad the end of summer and beggining of autumn  from the harvest of fruits and crops to the end of that. and later he mentions spring were everything stats to grow again and its the “rebirth“
