@proseism: Perhaps one of the most powerful laments ever put to paper by #keats When I have Fears That I May Cease to Be is possibly one of my favorite sonnets ever. Keats wrote the poem between 22 and 31 January 1818. It was published (posthumously) in 1848. It’s a devastating look at the eternal longing of the human soul and its knowledge of how ephemeral the world is. #poetry #classicliterature #literature #literarytok
