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.

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.

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. 😃
