Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness." ~ Endymion, Keats
We are grateful to author and follower, Laurie Miller, who adds:
"Lovely stuff, isn't it? But why stop our man Keats there? As he goes on:
'. . .pass into nothingness, but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth.'
"A garden is a restful place, 'a flowery band to bind us to the earth.'"
Laurie, Thanks as always.
