In a short story whose title comes from this poem, the Jewish George Bland kills himself after being informed he's not good enough to be a concert pianist. The speaker of this poem wishes to forget "where palsy shakes a few, sad last gray hairs" and "where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies." The speaker of this poem mentions "faery lands (*) forlorn," prompting him to exclaim that the word "forlorn" is like a bell "to toll me back from thee to my sole self." W. Somerset Maugham's story "Alien Corn" gets its title from this poem's line about "the sad heart of Ruth." This poem's speaker has "been half in love with easeful Death" and asks "Was it a vision, or a waking dream?" For 10 points, name this Keats poem about an "immortal Bird."
