A #Midjourney image for this excerpt from "Hyperion" by John Keats, describing the beleaguered Titan of the Sun returning to his palace at sunset:

His flaming robes stream'd out beyond his heels,
And gave a roar, as if of earthly fire,
That scar'd away the meek ethereal Hours
And made their dove-wings tremble. On he flared,
From stately nave to nave, from vault to vault,
Through bowers of fragrant and enwreathed light,
And diamond-paved lustrous long arcades

“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—”

Fame & Judgement: Keats at Burns’s Tomb (1818)

I want a brighter word than bright

I almost wish we were butterflies
and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you
I could fill with more delight
than fifty common years
could ever contain.

Useless quote for 2 April:

"Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced — Even a proverb is no proverb to you till your Life has illustrated it."

~ John Keats, 1819

[BTW: I call these "useless quotes" because they are useless until we think and act.]

I think this may be my favourite John Keats' poem .. 'When I Have Fears that I May Cease to Be' ...

When I have fears that I may cease to be  
  Before my pen has glean’d my teeming brain,  
Before high piled books, in charact’ry,  
  Hold like rich garners the full-ripen’d grain;  
When I behold, upon the night’s starr’d face,  
  Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,  
And think that I may never live to trace  
  Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance..

'Hope' by John Keats

When by my solitary hearth I sit,
And hateful thoughts enwrap my soul in gloom:
When no fair dreams before my "mind's eye" flit,
And the bare heath of life presents no bloom:
Sweet Hope, ethereal balm upon me shed,
And wave the silver pinions o'er my head...

Life is too thought. Feel more.

“Oh for a life of sensations rather than of thoughts.” #JohnKeats (1795 – 1821) From a letter to Benjamin Bailey postmarked 22 November 1817. Keats had just turned 22 and died 3¼ years later in Rome where he is buried. Quoted in The Soul’s Code by #JamesHilton

"I feel more and more every day, as my imagination strengthens, that I do not live in this world alone but in a thousand worlds."

Around mid-December 1816 John Keats visited his guardian Richard Abbey to tell him of Keats’ decision to give up medicine in favour of poetry. It was a shock to Mr Abbey. Read Gareth Evans' blog on Keats' notebooks from that time.

Ill with something horrible, not Covid -- reading Keats's sonnets for fun, I had never read them straight through before. This playful one on friendship, 'To John Hamilton Reynolds' #JohnKeats

Good morning. On this day in 1820 John Keats wrote his final letter at 26 Piazza di Spagna. You can still visit https://ksh.roma.it/ today.

'I have an habitual feeling of my real life having past, and that I am leading a posthumous existence. God knows how it would have been—but it appears to me—however, I will not speak of that subject.'

My Keats "To Autumn" color illustration that took entirely too long to finish. 😖 (Ten years. I got distracted by other projects.)
