Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poets and the Poetry of the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 3: John Keats to Edward, Lord Lytton
It was an axiom with Keats that poetry s'hould surprise by a fine excess. Probably his own natural preference fathered such a rule. Whenever he took up the pen, scenes and shapes of beauty crowded so upon his gaze, that the living thought as it struggled through them had much ado to retain its distinctness.
