“No—yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,” (Keats
792). The man wants to be a star. He wants to be eternal and everlasting. The first half of the poem describes
everything the star does. It watches
everything on the earth but it does not get to touch any of it. There is a metaphor comparing snow on a
mountain to a mask. The second half of
the poem tells what the man actually wants to do. it is ironic how he spends over half the poem
describing something he actually does not want.
The man only wants to be close to his woman forever. He wants to be eternally hugging her and
never have to leave even if it does kill him.
