Shelley-Keats
House
Today's
class was all about grand poetry. I enjoyed learning more about John Keats life
and death. He was truly an admirable person. His life story, short as it may
be, is full of passion and tragedy. That is probably why his poetry is so
incredibly touching. I was glad to be in his old home for a brief period of
time and to see the room where he spent the last days of his tragic life.
The
Non-Catholic cementery was a unique experience. It would have never occurred to
me to think that non-Catholics would be buried somewhere else, but now it makes
absolute sense. Although I am not a very big fan of cementeries, I was glad to
see the Shelley's and Keats' grave. It was an emotional experience for me
because both of these two poets died too young and their potential was cut
short at its prime.
I would
love to return to both these places one day, mainly to honor these great two men
who, although long gone, have been immortalized through their superb writing
ability, and their contribution to Romanticism.
