Answer 2

Keats composed "To Autumn" after relishing a beautiful autumn day; he explained his experience in a letter to Reynolds, his friend. IN this poem, Keats contrasts autumn with spring in stanza III

EXPLANATION:

• The third stanza explicitly contrasts autumn with spring; autumn's presence means that spring has passed, obviously. Spring has the similar function as summer in first stanza; it represents process, and the flux of time. Besides, spring is a time of a re-birth of life, a connotation that contrasts with the overtly dying autumn of the third stanza.
• That is, the poem reveals a very lovely autumn; however combined with that beauty is an understanding that autumn is a long way next to spring, and pave the way for the obscurity of winter. The poem concerns the passage of time; autumn embodies maturation; nevertheless that is only 1 step afore death.
• Moreover, autumn presages death for the now full-grown lambs that are born in spring and are slaughtered during autumn. Keats accepts all facets of autumn which encompasses the dying, and so he presents sadness through the words the gnats mourn in a wailful choir and the destined lambs bleat. Keats mixes dying and living, the the unpleasant and pleasant, since they are inseparably one; he acknowledges the realism of the diverse nature of the world.
