  1. Keats. His grasshopper and cricket sonnet. Noisy summer, quiet winter.
    The poetry of earth. #Keats #sonnet

  2. “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—”

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. A photograph I took yesterday I'm actually quite happy with.

    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.

  11. 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?

  12. And a little bit more this time with a bend in the river to curve the eye.

  13. "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
