An ancient dryad grows beside a desolate graveyard, longing to reveal herself to the golden-haired child who has grown up beneath her boughs, and who has become her new muse after centuries grieving the loss of Calliope, one of her closest friends and the gods' foremost singer and poet. 
    
    One day, during a funeral held on the other side of the fence, the dryad recognises one of the women weeping by the new grave. When she realises who it is, she is once again reminded of the curse of her immortality . . .
    
    A tribute to the legacy of John Keats with his poem 'Ode To A Nightingale.'
