“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—”

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.

Painted stories of the Decameron: The pot of basil
-
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.

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

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.

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?

Pretty little cut throughs and cobbled paths.

"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
