Quotes From Brght Star:
Fanny Brawne: You know I would do anything
John Keats: I have a conscience.
John Keats: I had such a dream last night. I was
floating above the trees with my lips connected to
those of a beautiful figure, for what seemed like
an age. Flowery treetops sprung up beneath us and
we rested on them with the lightness of a cloud.
Fanny Brawne: Who was the figure?
John Keats: I must have had my eyes closed because
I can't remember.
Fanny Brawne: And yet you remember the treetops.
John Keats: Not so well as I remember the lips.
Fanny Brawne: Whose lips? Were they my lips?
Charles Armitage Brown: I failed John Keats. I did
not know til now how tightly he wound himself around
my heart.
John Keats on poetry: It ought to come like leaves
to a tree, or it better not come at all.
Fanny Brawne walked the Heath for many years, often
far into the night. She never forgot John Keats or
removed his ring. / Keats died at twenty five, believing
himself a failure. Today he is recognised as one of
the greatest of the Romantic Poets.
