John Keats died today – 187 years ago

Poet (think: “Ode to Psyche”, “Ode on a Grecian Urn”, “Ode to a Nightingale”, “Ode on Melancholy”) John Keats was born on October 31, 1795 in London, England. He said, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness." [Someone could have said that about the dinosaurs. But where are they now?]... Mr. Keats died on February 23, 1821 in Rome, Italy.
