They appear as his epitaph in Romes Protestant cemetery. Often called the greatest English poet after Shakespeare  Keats had a lifelong preoccupation with early death. This sense of mortality  along with the poets famous  unrequited love for Fanny Brawne  sparked dozens of finely written sonnets and lyrics of love.  This beautifully crafted collection contains some of the most heartfelt of Keats personal poems. \"La Belle Dame Sans Merci A Ballad\" and \"The Eve of St. Agnes\" are paragons of the gothic lyric  wherein mysterious lovers  dream visions  and late-night fantasy come magically to life. Lighter verse  such as \"Where be ye going  you Devon maid?\" and such passionate  pensive poems as \"When I have fears that I may cease to be\" provide a personal glimpse of the young poets dreams and dreads.  This selection of twenty-six poems also presents an introduction to the life of John Keats  notes on the indivdual poems  and ten illustrations  half of which are of biographical interest and half underscore thematic elements contained in the poems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44944882434101,"sku":"ByrdShop_0312051050","price":28.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780312051051.jpg?v=1769858513","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-love-poems-of-john-keats-in-praise-of-beauty","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
