And Keats seems to agree with you. At least in line 2 he says "O ease my heart of verse and let me rest." Truly I liked his expression of love woven out, but not how he ties it off with need for ownership. And yet, this was, after all, the romance of his life.

Watched Bright Star again recently, an attraction of opposites which might not have remained so romantic had he lived longer. Thanks for this, Rosemary. You always research well and provide such interesting information. Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.com
