여치들이 노래하고, 남새밭에선 홍방울새가
떨리는 고음으로 부드럽게 휘파람 불고,
모여드는 제비는 지지배배 하늘에서 지저귀네.

"La Belle Dame Sans Merci" is a legend immortalized in the 1819 ballad by John Keats, based on a 15th century poem. It tells of a fairy woman who enchanted knights, who for years afterwards would wander in the wilderness, dazed and lovesick, in search of her.

The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Its loveliness increases,
it will never pass into nothingness.

Keats wrote To Autumn 200 years ago, in a letter to John Hamilton Reynolds he described what inspired him... "Somehow a stubble plain looks so warm – in the same way that some pictures look warm – this struck me so much in my Sunday’s walk that I composed upon it.”

"I set her on my pacing steed,
And nothing else saw all day long,
For sidelong would she bend, and sing
A faery’s song."

“I never knew before what such a love as you have made me feel was. I did not believe in it…But if you will fully love me, though there may be some fire, ‘twill not be more than we can bear when moistened and bedewed with Pleasures.”

—John Keats, 8 July 1819

Away! away! for I will fly to thee/Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards/But on the viewless wings of Poesy/
Already with thee! tender is the night

And knuckle-sharp cheekbone–
Ah. And again do.
Not a face. A hand, seen queerly. Mine.
Deliver me, I breathe
Watching it unclench with a soft moan
And reach for you.
