Sweet are the pleasures that to verse belong

Sweet are the pleasures that to verse belong,
And doubly sweet a brotherhood in song;

from Epistles to George Felton Mathew,  line 1-2

Come back from the vacation in Hong Kong, I found some of my friends do try to know John Keats and read some information on him which make me feel encouraging. And I start to get an idea that I should learn to type in Chinese so that I can wrtie in Chinese and they can read my mail more easily. And I will write one mail about John Keats every week so that they can know him and like him as I do. We need friends to share our lives and sharing make our lives happier that is what doubly sweet a brotherhood in song.

And I re-read this blog today and I enjoyed reading it. It is encouraging for me to keep writing every day and to have some thing I am enjoying now and then after.

I randomly picked up some lines from John Keats poems and I found that they can read separately and still feel good. Just like the following lines:

O Poesy! for thee I hold my pen
That am not yet a glorious denizen
Of thy wide heaven - Should I rather kneel
Upon some mountain-top until I feel
A glowing splendour round about me hung,
And echo back the voice of thine own tongue?

Sleep and Poetry   line 47-52

The picture is very comic, to imagine John Keats kneel down to plead for the Poesy. He was so devoted to poetry that he looked a bit mad and crazy and silly. It makes John Keats interesting as a person and I like him for this. John Keats makes me think that life can be so treasurable and enjoyable if you have passion in some thing and you throw heart and head into it.
