On Death.

When reading Keats’ poems even from the shortest amount of words that are read, many ideas of possible meanings are created. I chose to read one of Keats’ poem titled. “On death” this poem is one of the shorter poems Keats wrote. I decided to break down the poem line by line to better understand it, this came much easily in this case since the poem is much smaller in the quantity of words but just as big as a longer poem would be in its meaning. “Can death be sleep, then life is but a dream” what this first sentences says to me, is that life really is only here for a limited time, for certain people their life is longer or shorter than for others. So, since the life we have right now is only temporary, Keats is questioning the reader if then death can be considered a type of sleep. I look at it more an eternal break from the life we will have formed for our self. In my mind if we look at it from a religious point of view
