I've been reading the novel Cold Mountain and was surprised to come across a reference to Keats.
Here it is:
"She thought about the refrain of a tune Stobrod had sung that night, a ragged love song. Its ultimate line was: Come back to me is my request. Stobrod could not have uttered it with more conviction had it been one of the profounder lines of Endymion. Ada had to admit that, at least now and again, just saying what your heart felt, straight and simple and unguarded, could be more useful than four thousand lines of John Keats."
Just thought people might be interested, that's all.
Has anyone else spotted Keats' references in surprising places??
I really should get out more...
Who gives a shit??
What a 'Saturn' Friday night.
