"Ode to Autumn" does convey a "oneness with nature" through sensuous images and techniques. Alliteration‚ personification‚ imagery‚ similes‚ rhetorical questions‚ enjambment and positive connotations contained in this poem are all techniques that add to this idea.

In his poem "Ode to a Nightingale‚" John Keats uses powerful‚ distinct symbolism and imagery. The nightingale‚ for instance‚ is interpreted by many to be a symbol of Keats ’ poetic inspiration and satisfaction. This symbolism can be seen by the vivid descriptions Keats hives the nightingale. However‚ the nightingale is definitely not the only item of symbolism in "Ode to a Nightingale."

John Keats poems "Ode to a Nightingale" and "Ode on a Grecian Urn" seem to have been written with the intention of describing a moment in one’s life‚ like that of the fleeting tune of a nightingale or a scene pictured on an urn.
