  2. Listening to The Cure's Songs Of A Lost World tonight. In addition to being such a beautiful album, the booklet in the CD included the last six lines of a Keats sonnet.

    Lovely to be reminded of this poem, and very appropriate to the themes of the album.

    "And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
       That I shall never look upon thee more,
    Never have relish in the faery power
       Of unreflecting love—then on the shore
    Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
    Till love and fame to nothingness do sink."

  3. « The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeables evaporate, from their being in close relationship with beauty and truth. »

  4. Sweet are the pleasures
    that to verse belong,
    And doubly sweet
    a brotherhood in song.

    "To George Felton Mathew"
    Nov 1815

  5. A #Midjourney image for this excerpt from "Hyperion" by John Keats, describing the beleaguered Titan of the Sun returning to his palace at sunset:

    His flaming robes stream'd out beyond his heels,
    And gave a roar, as if of earthly fire,
    That scar'd away the meek ethereal Hours
    And made their dove-wings tremble. On he flared,
    From stately nave to nave, from vault to vault,
    Through bowers of fragrant and enwreathed light,
    And diamond-paved lustrous long arcades

  10. John Keats almost became a doctor. At 15, he was taken out of school by his guardian and apprenticed to an apothecary in Enfield. At 19, he registered at Guy's Hospital in London. Within a month, he was assisting surgeons during operations, doing work equivalent of a junior house surgeon today.

    On the anniversary of his death, 10 things you might not know about John Keats:

  11. "I feel more and more every day, as my imagination strengthens, that I do not live in this world alone but in a thousand worlds."

    #JohnKeats, 1818

  12. Helped a student with analyzing #JohnKeats's "When I have fears that I may cease to be." I am reminded that one of the reasons I love the sound of his poems is the way he braids complementary vowel sounds into his lines. #Poetry

  13. «Where are the songs of spring? Ay, Where are they?
       Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—
    While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
       And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
    […]
    And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
       Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
       The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
          And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.»

    Excerpt from John Keats's #poem "To Autumn".
