Ulysses Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 2 minutes ago, Ulysses said: Keats. (I bet none of the ignorant sods posting on JKB even know what a Keat is.) Apparently, it was Keats who wrote the line "A thing of beauty is a joy forever". Shakespeare was responsible, they say, for many of the English language's current clichés. It seems that "Forever and a day" was in the language already, but only became popular after he included it in a play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redjambo Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 So I go online to see if I can find more about this quote, and one of the first sources I come across is an institution called the Morgan Library & Museum. https://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/online/keats/thing-beauty-joy-forever Is there something you're not telling us @Morgan?

Tazio Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 A terrible beauty is born Hearts with one purpose alone. Always been pleased Yeats was clearly a Jambo. Though the more traditional fans might not be as happy. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
