from Ode on Indolence

How is it, Shadows, that I knew ye not?
     How came ye muffled in so hush a Masque?
Was it a silent deep-disguised plot
     To steal away, and leave without a task
My idle days? Ripe was the drowsy hour;
     The blissful cloud of summer-indolence
          Benumb'd my eyes; my pulse grew less and less;
Pain had no sting, and pleasure's wreath no flower.
     O, why did ye not melt, and leave my sense
          Unhaunted quite of all but – nothingness?

– John Keats (1819)
