「濟慈的夜鶯歌會永遠在人們的記憶裡存著」 余光中、徐志摩也讚賞不已 世界浪漫主義詩歌代表作 中英朗讀雙語詩選 Ｘ 紀念藏書票 “That I can never tell what mood is best. I shall as soon pronounce which grace more neatly Trips it before Apollo than the rest.” 「我永遠說不出你哪種情致最好： 就想很難說哪位優雅女神 在阿波羅面前舞得最美。」 《夜鶯頌》、《伊薩貝拉》、《秋頌》等著名長詩，都是濟慈於1819 年所創作的作品。在胞弟逝世、身陷經濟壓力、愛而不得的痛苦下，濟慈將一切傾注於詩歌。 在弟弟離開人世、自己也身患重病，與心愛女子也無法長廂廝守，受困在現實所帶來的囹圄中，夜鶯即代表了詩人所渴望的自由與一切美好，他渴望如夜鶯一般，純潔、美麗，在空中自在遨翔。 “Beauty is truth, truth beauty” 詩歌鮮明如圖畫、又如飄揚樂聲，「美即是真，真即是美」，濟慈的詩完美地體現了西方浪漫主義的特點，以古文明為背景，寫象徵和神話，強調想像與自然，表現出理想和希望，抒發個人的主觀感受和情緒，卻在浪漫主義之下又同時兼具現實主義，既藝術地描寫美好的理想生活，又真實地再現當時的社會生活。也因為如此，他留下來的詩篇才能帶給我們無限的精神享受。 “But though I’ll gladly trace these scenes with thee, Yet the sweet converse of an innocent mind, Whose words are images of thoughts refin’d, Is my soul’s pleasure; and it sure must be Almost the highest bliss of human-kind, When to thy haunts two kindred spirits flee.” 「儘管我願意和你觀賞這些景物， 但我更樂於和純潔的心靈親切交談； 傾聽精妙思想中的意象及語言， 這是我心靈的快樂；我相信 這必定是人類最高的樂趣， 兩個投緣者的共棲之地。」
