"Foreshadowing all of this TGI modern malarkey is beautifully enthralling poem “La Belle Dame Sans Merci,” which is about just such a life-changing, health-endangering encounter with a one-night stand." One Knight Stand https://t.co/GnlycrHswa

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep’
An excerpt from “Endymion” by John Keats.
We think would have loved to lose himself in the beauties all around ⤵️

It’s been a miserable year for us all, but for me today marks the true beginning of the “Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” and I want to wish all my friends a Happy Halloween and, most importantly of all, a Happy Birthday to my dear John Keats 🎃😈

“The very thing which I want to live most for will be a great occasion of my death…I wish for death every day and night...and then I wish death away, for death would destroy even those pains which are better than nothing."

—John Keats, 30 September 1820

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

Claude-Joseph Vernet died 1789. Many of his paintings are reminiscent of works by Claude Lorrain from 100~ years earlier (one painting of Lorrain’s happened to be a favorite of my beloved John Keats)

Claude Lorrain died 1682. The 1st painting, The Enchanted Castle (1664), was a favorite of John Keats & may have inspired these lines from Ode to a Nightingale:

Charm’d magic casements, opening on the foam
Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.
