Easeful Death is accompanied by the following text in the SONGS with a dying fall: works on paper and canvas by David Schorr catalog, Mary Ryan Gallery catalog from 1994: Excerpt from John Keats' Ode to a Nightingale: Darkling, I listen; and for a many a time / I have been half in love with easeful Death / Called him soft names in many a mused rhyme, / To take into the air my quiet breath; / Now more than ever seems it rich to die, / To cease upon the midnight with no pain / While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad / In such a ecstasy! / Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain- / To thy high requiem become a sod.
