Despite this fact, however, it is the writing of this poem that Keats enjoyed more than anything else in 1819, as Keats himself admits in a letter he wrote that year. The ode is actually a valuable piece by the poet, in that it offers us one of the very few opportunities to witness Keats reveal his genuine feelings. In this respect, it can be argued that the poem may serve as an excellent medium through which Keats's private emotions and innermost needs that are well-hidden in his other odes can be understood perhaps even more effectively because of its form that is somewhat less refined. Moreover, Keats's feelings that were torn between "Indolence" and the "three figures" consisting of "Love", "Ambition", and "Poesy" are probably closer to those of today's readers who are said to be lost in our hectic world and in need of emotional healing. Finally, in this researcher's opinion, "Indolence", or "nothingness", in "Ode on Indolence" may be considered to contain certain key elements that would later develop into the "Negative Capability", a concept critical to an accurate understanding of Keats and his works. This paper is an attempt to re-establish the significance of Keats's "Ode on Indolence" as an honest reflection of his inner feelings at a pivotal stage of his life, and also as an exercise for his later works together with an explanation of the ode's refreshing and healing appeal in its contemporary context.}, pages = {41--49}, title = {キーツの「怠情のオード」再考}, volume = {114}, year = {2004} }
