可是，那些究竟有什麽用呢。濟慈死了，孤零零地死在了那不勒斯，墓誌銘上寫著：Here lies a man whose name is written on water-此地長眠者，聲名水上書——他被公認為英國浪漫主義流派的鼻祖之一，與雪萊、拜倫齊名；他的詩作，也在這個已經沒有他的世界上被人們爭相吟誦傳唱，《夜鶯》、《秋頌》……
Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art---
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And Watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors---
No-yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever---or else swoon to death.
