Letters of John Keats


John Keats' orginal letter to Fanny Brawne, 11 October 1819
 Wow! What a letter. Very heart melting.It was obvious John Keats was so much in love with Fanny Brawne. I had no idea that people of 19th century could be so passionate about love and romance. I wish some has written such letter to me, and someone does, i would be at his feet! No thats too Indian perhaps he would be in my arms. I appologise if that give anybody a wrong picture ;) . "If you should ever carry your threat yesterday into execution-believe me 't is not my pride, my vanity or any petty passion would torment me-really 't would hurt my - heart- I could not bear it." This indicate how vulnerable he would become if Fanny Brawne leaves him. He seemd to be willing to let go of his pride and other seemingly important aspects of his life go but not his love for her. Its even sound cute the way he started of the letter to her, "My Sweet Girl". I am going to surf the internet for more of John Keats letters to Fanny Brawne!
