John Keats

"I have left no immortal work behind me — nothing to make my friends proud of my memory — but I have lov'd the principle of beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself remember'd."

John Keats wrote that to Fanny Brawne in a letter once. It's funny, isn't it? Because Keats has actually left quite a legacy. I hope he knows that now.

That's all I have to say, really. I've been writing drafts of posts for a few days now, but none of them have been special enough to publish. I think I'll wait to post again until I have something exciting or substantial to tell you.

P.S. I just realized that maybe the quote combined with my message sounds rather melancholy. It's not meant to. I was simply thinking about Keats today, and I stumbled upon the quote while reading his wikipedia page.
