I like this. A lot. Definitely reading more of Keats on a peaceful summer night with a glass of wine.

So atmospheric - Keats is my favourite poet! Reading The Eve of St Agnes on the actual Eve of St Agnes was so atmospheric and I love Keats' style and use of imagery. His other odes and greek-inspired poems in the book are also gorgeous and personally I loved Ode to Psyche. Keats' writing is so beautiful and delicate but still stays rooted in the historical canon in a way very few other poets have managed to do!
