To Autumn

I thought it was a good of Keats to note the differences in the sounds of the two seasons, Autumn and Spring, in his poem, "To Autumn". Instead of combining random aspects of nature and commenting on their beautiful or pleasing attributes, he establishes a barrier between the two by stating "Where are the songs of Spring? Aye, where are they? Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,-". It is important to segregate parts of nature and appreciate their differences. One cannot explore the many realms of the natural world and ignorantly blend them all together. It is not wrong to say that Nature is united, but to forget the special distinctions between the seasons, the different landscapes, and various species of animals and plants is a terrible mistake, which, of course, Keats avoids in this poem by focusing on Autumn.
