The first stanza is dominated by a vivid mood and vigorous, tangible imagery – autumn, corresponding to the robustness of a young season, is personified as an agent of action . This concept is best illustrated through diction, and most obviously through the active verbs that Keats employs (i.e. the things that autumn does or does) such as "conspire", "charge", "bless" (3), “fold”, “fill”. » and “swell” (5-7). The lines “...Budding more / and still more” again suggest the overwhelming sensory, for which enjambment is rightly necessary. Rhythm also serves to emphasize mood: Keats clearly deviates from the general rhythm of iambic pentameter through trochaic inversions in the initial phrases of the first two lines respectively, "Season of Mists..." and "Close bosom Friend..” (1-2) However, the speaker's tone, in contrast to the initial mood, is melancholy; this appears at the conclusion of the stanza, in which it is suggested that such vivacity may be; an illusion: “until they think the hot days will never cease, / For summer has overflowed their sweaty cells” (10-11)....
