COMMEMORATING JOHN KEATS
"If I should die,"
said I to myself, "I have left no immortal work behind me — nothing to
make my friends proud of my memory — but I have loved the principle of
beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself
remembered."
John Keats died in Rome at just 25 years old on 23rd February
1821. His grave is notable in that his name
is not written anywhere on it. Believing he was dying unknown and forgotten he
instead requested it say “Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water.”
