. John Keats; a literary biography ... anatural affinity, a love of pretty things, and theyflattered each others weakness.

Keats met,first and last, Reynolds, Haydon, Shelley, Dilke,Brown and Severn. The occasional verses of these months giveglimpses of his life. In Hunts library — a minia-ture museum of busts and pictures — the littleclan gathered, wrote competitive sonnets, spentthe evenings in animated chat and, like the snow-bound Esquimaux in winter, indulged them-selves too generously in mutual admiration-Keats left reluctantly for the long dark walk tohis lodgings in London. But he went obliviousof cold, winds and stars. His mind was full ofMilton and Italian poetry. His heart was over-flowing with creative impulses. His spirit wason the heights. And he renders these moods ofexaltation — the noteworthy feature — in terms 24.
