When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain,
Before high-piled books, in charactery,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripened grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starred face,
Hug cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Thier shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relishi the fairy power
Of unreflecting love-then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.
Comment if you know who wrote that!
Was it Keats?

ReplyDeleteb) Yup! Thanks so much for you e-mail! Loved the picture!
Yay! The only reason I knew it was Keats is because I've heard you quote it before. :) I hope your week is going well!
