Keats


In a letter postmarked #OTD 1819 Keats writes to Fanny Brawne :

"I almost wish we were butterflies and 
liv'd but three summer days… 
Three such days with you 
I could fill with more delight 
than fifty common years could ever contain"
*
For myself I know not how to express my devotion to so fair a form: 
I want a brighter word than bright, a fairer word than fair.
