Question

One of these poems describes a figure who “dwells with Beauty Beauty that must die” and begins “no, no, go not to Lethe.” In another of these poems, the speaker (-5[2])compares the word “forlorn” to “a bell to toll me back from thee” (-5[1])before declaring, “adieu! adieu! (-5[1])thy plaintive anthem fades.” (-5[1])At the beginning of one of these poems, a “drowsy numbness pains” the speaker, who at the end of that work asks “do I wake or sleep?” (-5[1])One of these poems about a “still unravish’d bride of quietness” declares (10[1])“beauty is truth, (10[1])truth beauty.” (-5[1])For 10 points, name this set of British Romantic (10[1])poems (-5[1])addressed “to a Nightingale” and “on a Grecian (10[1])Urn.” ■END■ (10[6])
