Abstract: Seen from the perspective of “re-enchantment”, Keats’s ecological sensitivity mostly manifests itself in his recognition of the ontological equality of all things, his perception of their infinity and mystery, and his childlike delight in their vitality. “Enchantment” is both the dominant theme and structuring narrative strategy in his three well-known odes. In “Ode to a Nightingale”, the speaker (or the poet himself) falls into a state of drowsy numbness at first, and then becomes enchanted, by the song of the nightingale, into “the Great Outdoors” that transcends time and space before waking up to realities wistfully; in “Ode on a Grecian Urn”, the speaker first expresses his wonder and musing over the Grecian urn, but then suddenly finds himself lost to its distant and mysterious past and becomes melted into it; in “To Autumn”, the speaker, who seems to have been enchanted by the cubist and dynamic image of the autumn at the very start, follows its lively steps and listens to its beautiful music all the way through the end of the poem. Keats’s narrative of re-enchantment still has an extremely vital relevance to the Post-Anthropocentric era we live in today.
