Yes, surely you must be correct. I must be able to envision him "convening" with those other great spirits.
And reunited with Miss Brawne and Tom.

Of course, Miss Brawne and Tom, but not with George and that rascal C. Armitage Brown, or at least I don't think so: THEY need to be "punished" for some part of eternity.
But, his mom, yes . . . THAT relationship must be mended, and Thomas, Sr. must come "home," as well. And Leigh Hunt, who for all his so-called negative influence on Keats, was a true friend to the end.
"Tell him, tell that great poet and noble-hearted man that we shall hold his memory in the most precious part of our hearts, and that the world will bow their heads to it as our loves do. . . . Tell him he is only before us on the road, as he was in everything else."

however, a part of me believes Brown knew what was up, he just lost interest because the poet, that "pet lamb in a sentimental farce" was no longer cranking out the verses. The status of being closely associated with a poet of undeniable and unearthly talent wasn't quite the same when he was ill, weak, and coughing up copious amount of blood ("you mean I've got to clean all that up. . . ?!).
And yes, sweet Severn. If I could go back in time, he's the one I would most like to say "thank you" to, he and Fanny B. (I'd rather enjoy telling Abbey to "kiss my ass"). And speaking of Haslam, Keats's oldest friend (right?), I believe he would have gone in a heartbeat had he not had a family (strong Haslam. . . doesn't Keats refer to him in a letter as oak-like??
The exact wording escapes me -- have to go home now and look it up 'cause it'll bug me if I don't!). But, of course, Brown was to follow in the spring! Ha . . . couldn't go right then and there because he had to take Abigail to Ireland so he could marry her in a Roman Catholic ceremony that he knew would be illegal back in England. Need I say more! you must have a far more generous spirit than me, Raphael!! Ha!

The way, I get this link was a littlebit strange (I was bored enough to look after Keats-fonts in the web, without knowing why I should need this) and, guess! I am here, decided to regist and sneaking through the posts.
Who am I. First of all my ams, I'm strange (like a lot of people who try to read the world like a poem, and get that it's often more like a newspaper this time). Interested in medicine, literature and history, Also I'm addicted to tb.
Well - I'm not sure, if I haven't written to much, or something else. I'm glad to find this forum!

Ahm - yes, very good question. I prefer to read the poems in english, because in the translations the emotion get lost. Take "When I have fears that I may cease to be" for example. The german version is: "Wenn ich manchmal fürchte, früh zu sterben". The poem in german is likewise nice - but it has not the feeling in it, like the original by Keats.
It's better than school, university or something else, yes and more interesting than serious books. The reading isn't the problem - (thank good) - it's more the remembering to vocabulars and grammar. While reading the poems a lot of meanings you can get from the context.
Yeah, I've seen the film. Buyable in Germany it is since 02.06, I think - so I until yet I haven't the time to buy it, because Amazon ignores me.
What do you think about the film?
I wondered about me, that I nearly want to cry (It's so obcure, that I can't take it). I'm not able to explaine the 'Why', but it was so damn [right word put in here] that such a genious have to die in his young age.
