High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Ode to Psyche" is a poem by John Keats written in spring 1819. The poem is the first of his 1819 odes, which include "Ode on a Grecian Urn" and "Ode to a Nightingale". "Ode to Psyche" is an experiment in the ode genre, and Keats`s attempt at an expanded version of the sonnet format that describes a dramatic scene. The poem serves as an important departure from Keats`s early poems, which frequently describe an escape into the pleasant realms of one`s imagination. Keats uses the imagination to show the narrator`s intent to resurrect Psyche and reincarnate himself into Eros(love). Keats attempts this by dedicating an "untrodden region" of his mind to the worship of the neglected goddess.
