Read the verse.

From "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats Verse I My heart aches and drowsy numbness pains My sense, as though of

hemlock I had drunk, or emptied some dull opiate to the drains One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk: 'Tis not through envy

of thy happy lot, But being too happy in thine happiness, - That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees, In some melodious plot of

beechen green, and shadows numberless, Singest of summer in full-throated ease.

In these lines from "Ode to a Nightingale," the speaker compares his feelings to which experience?
