Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ...liv'd in Regions new! These are specimens of a sort of rondeau which I think I shall become partial to--because you have one idea amplified with greater ease and more delight and freedom than in the sonnet. It is my intention to wait a few years before I publish any minor poems--and then I hope to have a volume of some worth--and which those people will relish who cannot bear the burthen of a long poem. In my journal I intend to copy the poems I write the days they are written--there is just room I see in this page to copy a little thing I wrote off to some Music as it was playing--I had a dove and the sweet dove died, And I have thought it died of grieving: 0 what could it grieve for? it was tied With a silken thread of my own hand's weaving. Sweet little red-feet why should you die? Why should you leave me--sweet dove why? You lived alone in the forest tree. Why pretty thing could you not live with me?

Book Description:
This 1895 centenary collection of 214 'racy, lively, inimitably good-tempered' letters by the Romantic poet John Keats (1795–1821) to his family, friends and fiancée was edited by the Harry Buxton Forman (1842–1917). Forman included previously unpublished correspondence, aiming to 'complete the picture of the true Keats'.
About the Author:
John Keats was one of those immensely gifted nineteenth century artists whose work became widely appreciated only after his death. Despite the critics of the day and the fact that death at the tender age of twenty-six prevented him from maturing further as a poet, Keats managed to create some of the greatest lyrical poems ever written.
