Lines from Endymion

Sorry to those who get really annoyed with my love for poetry and the constant displaying of selected poems on my blog... Anyway, I just can't help it, so you have to get through^^
Because I've seen the preview of a really wonderful film about John Keats the other day, this is my favourite Keats poem...

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loviliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondance, of the inhuman dearth
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o`er-darkened ways
Made for our searching: yes, inspite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
From our dark spirits.

  1. Oh, als ich den Blogtitel gelesen hab, musste ich an Sailor Moon denken. Sailor Moons Geliebter in der Vergangenheit/Zukunft (alle Leute die Sailor Moon kennen wissen Bescheid^^) heißt auch Endymion, haha......ok, das hat überhaupt nichts mit deinem Kommentar zu tun, aber ich wollte es trotzdem erwähnen, hihi.

    Und ich finde deine poetry Einträge sehr schön!!! Keep it up :-)
