The Nightingale composed by Sir Phillip Sidney is a standout amongst his most well known works, and is shrouded with wealth in rhyme and importance.
The Nightingale is a lyric dependent on book 6 of Ovid's Metamorphoses, which recounts the tale of Philomela, who was assaulted by her sister's better half, Tereus. So as to quietness her, Tereus likewise removed Philomela's tongue.
Philomela revealed to her story to her sister, Procne, by weaving it out on an embroidered artwork. Philomela and Procne attempted to escape, however rather were trailed by Tereus.
This story closes when the divine beings transform them three into winged animals Procne into a swallow, Philomela into a songbird and Tereus into a hoopoe.
'The Nightingale' is a conversational poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
It was written in April, 1798.
I do agree with the poet/ speaker when he says that the nightingale is not melancholic. According to him, nothing in nature is melancholic or sad. It's the sadness in the man which make him write such words.
The poem begins with lines about nightingales written by Milton:
'Most musical, most melancholy' bird!
But after this, he writes: A melancholy bird! Oh! idle thought! He rubbishes the idea that nightingales are melancholic and writes how he finds the bird an experience of nature. In the course of the poem, the poet also writes about an incident when once when his son was crying, he went out & showed him the moon. The child stopped crying on seeing the moon. For the poet, the song of the nightingale is a beautiful part of nature.
