The Nightingale: A Conversation Poem
(詳細はSamuel Taylor Coleridge in April 1798. Originally included in the joint collection of poems called ''Lyrical Ballads'', the poem disputes the traditional idea that nightingales are connected to the idea of melancholy. Instead, the nightingale represents to Coleridge the experience of nature. Midway through the poem, the narrator stops discussing the nightingale in order to describe a mysterious female and a gothic scene. After the narrator is returned to his original train of thought by the nightingale's song, the narrator recalls a moment when he took his crying son out to see the moon, which immediately filled the child with joy. Critics have found the poem either decent with little complaint or as one of his better poems containing beautiful lines.
==Background==
''The Nightingale'' was written in April 1798 during the same time Coleridge wrote ''Fears in Solitude''. During this time, France threatened to invade Britain; the belief held by many Britons was that France would invade the Irish kingdom, which was experiencing rebellion at the time.〔Ashton 1997 pp. 133–136〕 These fears of an invasion manifested in April 1798 and Britons began to arm themselves. During April, Coleridge traveled to his childhood home at Ottery and then went to visit William and Dorothy Wordsworth. It was during this time that Coleridge wrote "Fears in Solitude: Written in April 1798, During the Alarm of an Invasion".〔Mays 2001 pp. 468–469〕
The poem was included in a joint publication with William Wordsworth called ''Lyrical Ballads'', which first appeared in 1798 (see 1798 in poetry).〔Ashton 1997 p. 139〕 Originally, Coleridge intended to place ''Lewti or the Circassian Love-chaunt'' in the collection. ''The Nightingale'' was published in seven other editions but was altered little.〔Mays 2001 p. 516〕
