Has anyone read Andrew Motion's bio on Keats?
If so, I wondered what anyone thinks about the assertion of Keats having contracted syphilis at Oxford while there with Ben Bailey.

You guys talked about having a connection with someone you have never met and never will...well, when I die and leave this world for the gilded stable--I think I shall see him...and he'll be reading under a plum tree with the same deep auburn hair I imagined him having...and no--I don't see him sitting with Fanny. Maybe he'll want to sit with me.
