Also I don't think I went on enough about how wonderful your essays are-- I really enjoy them and have been binging your Gothic horror content for two days now. Shirley Jackson is one of my favorite writers, and you've given me some excellent adjacent authors to explore!

On first reading, I interpreted the use of 'conscience' to imply that the reader has/will have a part in the hand's/speaker's death - perhaps (in the context of surgery) dealing with the guilt of performing a botched amputation, or anxiety over the potentially fatal results of an operation.

Ah thanks for this! Always keen to know what people make of this strange little poem - Rosie

Given Keat's background, I think that the hand in question is an amputated hand, before and then after the procedure. Seeing a disembodied dead hand, or probably actually (in Keats' case) seeing it become lifeless, would absolutely be a blood-dusting experience.

You might have seen this earlier in the week... unfortunately KZitem decided to be spooky and only recommend our content alongside some... inappropriate content let's say. So here's another roll of the dice. We hope you all enjoy our Halloween special! 🎃👻🧟

My first impulse was to check the publication date of Frankenstein as compared to this poem... it strikes me as maybe (at least) having been floating in Keats' consciousness when this was written.

Uncanny yes....but also beautiful and heart-rending.

First time I heard it, I thought the hand was the speakers hand, and they are saying there is nothing this hand won't do

Im not particularly well read or poetically inclined but upon first reading I thought it was about a baby. Given context I don't think thats quite right, but I figured it would be worth mentioning, video engagement and all.

Excellent! Again, a scholarly and enlightening production. I am grateful that I am able to expand my knowledge and learning regarding the works of Keats. The delivery was creative, illuminating and highly informative; both in the context of Hallowe’en, and to Keat’s literature. I have acquired great learning.
