#poetrymatters #beauty
According to Keats, beauty, is a source of endless joy, and ultimately, that‘s what makes the world go round.
Song
Thyrsis, when we parted, swore
Ere the spring he would return –
Ah what means yon violet flower!
And the bud that decks the thorn!
‘Twas was the lark that upward sprung!
‘Twas the nightingale that sung!
Idle notes! untimely green!
Why is this unavailing haste?
Western gales and skies serene
Speak not always winter past.
Cease, my doubt, my fear is to move,
Spare the honor of my life.
“I have measured out my life with coffee spoons”
My husband and I love this #RomanticQuote so much that we used it for our wedding vows; I think it sums us up pretty well. (Photo from our most recent travel, having climbed halfway across a waterfall after a storm.) ❤️ #LiteraryLove
