Adonais: An Elegy on the Death of John Keats-02
[XIV] All he had lov’d, and moulded into thought, From shape, and hue, and odour, and sweet sound, Lamented Adonais. Morning sought Her eastern watch-tower, and her hair unbound, Wet with the tears which should adorn the ground, Dimm’d the aëreal eyes that kindle day; Afar the melancholy thunder moan’d, Pale Ocean in unquiet slumber lay, And the wild Winds flew round, sobbing in their dismay. XV Lost Echo sits amid the voiceless mountains, And feeds her grief with his remember’d lay, And will no more reply to winds or fountains, Or amorous birds perch’d on the young green spray, Or herdsman’s horn, or bell at closing day; Since she can mimic not his lips, more dear Than those for whose disdain she pin’d away Into a shadow of all sounds: a drear Murmur, between their songs, is all the woodmen hear.

Everything that Keats loved and transformed into poetry—beautiful sights, colours, fragrances, and sweet sounds—now grieves for him. Shelley personifies Morning, who rises in the east with her hair wet from tears. These tears fall upon the earth like dew, making the daylight dim with sorrow. Even thunder, the ocean, and the wild winds join in the mourning. The thunder groans sadly, the sea lies restless, and the winds fly about sobbing in grief. Through these images, Shelley suggests that Keats’s death is not only a personal loss but a tragedy felt throughout the natural world. In the fifteenth stanza, Shelley introduces Echo, another figure from Greek mythology. Echo sits silently among the mountains, remembering the sweet songs of Adonais. Once she joyfully repeated every beautiful sound in nature, but now she refuses to answer the voices of the wind, flowing streams, singing birds, the shepherd’s horn, or the evening bell. Since Keats’s voice has been silenced forever, Echo no longer finds joy in repeating any sound. She has become only a faint and sorrowful murmur heard between the songs of the woodland workers. Shelley uses Echo to symbolize the lasting silence created by the death of a great poet.These stanzas emphasize the universal grief caused by the death of Adonais. Shelley uses personification to show that nature itself shares in the mourning. Morning, Thunder, Ocean, Winds, and Echo all become symbolic mourners. The silence of Echo particularly represents the disappearance of Keats’s poetic voice. Through these powerful natural and mythological images, Shelley reinforces the elegiac mood and suggests that great poetry leaves an everlasting influence on both humanity and nature. XVI Grief made the young Spring wild, and she threw down Her kindling buds, as if she Autumn were, Or they dead leaves; since her delight is flown, For whom should she have wak’d the sullen year? To Phoebus was not Hyacinth so dear Nor to himself Narcissus, as to both Thou, Adonais: wan they stand and sere Amid the faint companions of their youth, With dew all turn’d to tears; odour, to sighing ruth. XVII Thy spirit’s sister, the lorn nightingale Mourns not her mate with such melodious pain; Not so the eagle, who like thee could scale Heaven, and could nourish in the sun’s domain Her mighty youth with morning, doth complain, Soaring and screaming round her empty nest, As Albion wails for thee: the curse of Cain Light on his head who pierc’d thy innocent breast, And scar’d the angel soul that was its earthly guest!
