The Dilettante Diaries: the True Romantics

"My heart is like a singing bird". Christina Rossetti









The Dilettante Diaries: "The True Romantics"



Once cages are open
the True Romantics
dance their dance
of Freedom


Hidden Keys


Swallows
air beneath 
their wings



(Lovejoy-Burton/September 2018)

Leanne Lovejoy-Burton Date: 9/16/2018 6:54:00 PM “Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art” (John Keats)/Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art— Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night And watching, with eternal lids apart, Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite, The moving waters at their priestlike task Of pure ablution round earth's human shores, Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask Of snow upon the mountains and the moors— No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable, Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast, To feel for ever its soft fall and swell, Awake for ever in a sweet unrest, Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath, And so live ever—or else swoon to death Login to Reply Leanne Lovejoy-Burton Date: 9/16/2018 7:04:00 PM Ode to Psyche/John Keats.
