RE: Adsactly Literature - Prophetic vision, nature and imagination (English romanticism - Part I)

Oh, Soledad! If I have to live with you,
Let it not be in the disorderly suffer

I'm a John Keats fan. About his death, I remember reading in Susan Sontag's The Sickness and its Metaphors that for romantics, illness was a higher form of life that was more spiritual and deeper. We must not forget that romantic Europe mitigates tuberculosis, relating it to sensitivity, creativity and bohemian life. Excellent work, @josemalacem: educational and interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Keats is undoubtedly one of the most sensitive English-speaking poets, and his life is as close to the romantic ideal as possible. Initially misunderstood, his work was later vindicated by his later readers, and he is always reborn as the nightingale of his ode. Thank you for your reading and comment, @nancybriti.
