- There is no single answer to this open question, but here are two of our favorites. The line I have been half in love with easeful Death (line 52) is famous; it is a perfect pentameter line, and a striking one, thanks largely to the surprising word easeful. Thou wast not born for death, immortal Bird (line 61) is also a famous line, which quite neatly sums up the Romantic poets sensibility, viewing a bird not as a mortal being but as a part of undying nature. Also note the words tender is the night, which F. Scott Fitzgerald borrowed for the title for his famous novel.
