Apollo And The Graces
APOLLO
WHICH
of
the
fairest
three
To-day
will
ride
with
me?
My
steeds
are
all
pawing
at
the
threshold
of
the
morn:
Which
of
the
fairest
three
To-day
will
ride
with
me
Across
the
gold
Autumn's
whole
Kingdom
of
corn?
THE
GRACES
all
answer
I
will,
I
-
I
-
I
young
Apollo
let
me
fly
Along
with
thee,
I
will-
I,
I,
I,
The
many
wonders
see
I
-
I
-
I
-
I
And
thy
lyre
shall
never
have
a
slackened
string:
I,
I,
I,
I,
Thro'
the
golden
day
will
sing.
John Keats
John Keats (born October 31, 1795, London, England—died February 23, 1821, Rome, Papal States [Italy]) English Romantic lyric poet who devoted his short life to the perfection of a poetry marked by vivid imagery, great sensuous appeal, and an attempt to express a philosophy through classical legend. He is best known for his odes, including "Ode to a Grecian Urn," "Ode to a Nightingale," and his long form poem Endymion. His usage of sensual imagery and statements such as “beauty is truth and truth is beauty” made him a precursor of aestheticism.
