The sturdy Keats …

… Anecdotal Evidence: 'When I Get Among the Highlanders'. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Dave brings this to my attention because of the comment. Certainly, anyone who appreciates poetry must admire what Keats has to say of it in his letters. But to value the letters above the poetry seems perverse. Decades before the French Symbolists, Keats made words into music, and without any blurring of sense.
