This document summarizes John Keats's use of sensory imagery in three of his famous odes: Ode to a Nightingale, Ode to Autumn, and Ode on a Grecian Urn. It discusses how Keats uses vivid descriptions that appeal to the senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch to immerse readers in the experiences depicted. Specifically, in Ode to Autumn, Keats personifies the season through imagery of the times of day and periods of maturation. The document also notes that sensory imagery dominates a large portion of Keats's work and idealizes natural themes like beauty, cycles, and perfection through symbolic language and metaphor.
