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.

Ella me miró como si me amase,

Yo la subí a mi dócil corcel,y nada fuera de ella vieron mis ojos aquel día; pues sentada en la silla cantaba una melodía de hadas.

Ella me reveló raíces de delicados sabores, y miel silvestre y rocío celestial

—¡Ah, pobre de mí!
Keats
