Bright Star! would I were stedfast as thou art--
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen masque
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors--
No--yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft swell and fall,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever--or else swoon to death.John Keats.

So here I am
So here I am
– T.S. Eliot, East Coker
while the roof’s fallen in,
now the night’s drawing in
and just look at the stars turning over– Matt Howard, Silence

Where are the songs of spring? Ay, Where are they
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too– John Keats, To Autumn
I hear the wind shaking the branches as it moves through the trees; suddenly I feel a contact not just with this immediate scene, but with the whole cycle of the seasons, how the wind in winter sounds so muffled, because only the evergreens are responding, but this rich sound will recur, next year and in all subsequent years. I am carried beyond the immediate experience to a sense of the whole cyclical movement of the seasons which is the condition of life on our planet. I am in touch with a movement at a much greater depth, and I rejoice at this connection. I am not talking simply of my knowing the fact that this rustling of the wind in the trees is part of a larger process; or even of my bringing the fact to mind.
Cosmic Connections, by Charles Taylor loc 7219

La Belle Dame sans Merci by Sir Francis Bernard Dicksee isn’t just a painting—it’s a story of love, beauty, and betrayal told in color and detail.
I’ve written a personal reflection on why this work still resonates today. If you’ve ever been enchanted (or undone) by beauty, this one’s for you.

“This Sonnet I have written in a strange mood, half asleep. I know not how it is, the Clouds, the sky, the Houses, all seem anti Grecian & anti Charlemagnish—”

Any scene that has a wide range of colour is attractive. Nature supplies the best colours. This scene near us is one of excitement as well as calm and peace. It is also a reminder of time passing and the transitory nature of our existence. It is a thing of beauty.
"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever." The opening line of a poem by John Keats that says whether beauty appears in a sunset or in a poem, it offers humanity indestructible consolation, healing, and courage.

Thou wast not
born for death,
immortal Bird!
No hungry generations
tread thee down;
The voice I hear
this passing night
was heard
In ancient days
by emperor and clown:
Perhaps the self-same song
that found a path
Through the sad heart
of Ruth,
when, sick for home,
She stood in tears
amid the alien corn;
The same that
oft-times hath
Charm’d magic casements,
opening on the foam
Of perilous seas,
in faery lands forlorn.— #Keats

In meditative contemplation, Keats finds in all the sweet songs of joy that he seeks. For him, his poetry is his life, his meaning: his very being. Take it away, and he loses touch with the very inspiration, the very life essence, that is at the core of his being.

My novel "The Fine Point of His Soul" follows John #Keats to Rome - where he, Mary #Shelley and Lord #Byron work against a villain who dubs himself Iago. Where will this #althistfic lead our beloved Romantic hero?

"Man should not dispute or assert but whisper results to his neighbour and thus by every germ of spirit sucking the sap from mould ethereal every human might become great, and Humanity instead of being a wide heath of Furze and Briars with here and there a remote Oak or Pine, would become a grand democracy of Forest Trees!" #Keats ?#fediverse

“Shed no tear
O, shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.
Weep no more
O, weep no more!
Young buds sleep in the root’s white core.” - from Fairy’s Song (Shed No Tear!) by John Keats.

As was clear from my limited experiments with #ChatGPT’s #sonnet and rap, the renderings did not rise to the heights of a #Keats, Shelley or Christina Rossetti. ChatGPT will probably never be a Terrance Hayes, reinvigorating the classic form of poetry to write American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin. But it will versify in tolerable fashion. In terms of rap, ChatGPT may never be an Eminem or a Jay-Z but it will probably always be good enough.
That presents a massive problem. The business of content cares about the balance sheet and dang, #AI is just so much cheaper than #creative human beings. https://www.rashmee.com/2023/01/11/chatgpt-isnt-keats-wont-reinvent-the-sonnet-like-terrance-hayes-and-thats-fine/ -

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever." #Keats said that, and I think he was talking about this #christmas decoration. #DieHard

Sorry. Having a really good phone camera day!
Last one of the Itchen Navigation / Keats Walk Winchester
On the epitaph of Keats, Shelley wrote: "whose name was writ in water".
If he didn't get inspiration from the Itchen, I'd be sorely surprised. -
