John Keats | La dolcezza di quel viso

Lo sfavillio del suo sguardo splendente

E quel seno, terrestre paradiso.

Mai più felice sarà la vista mia,

Ché ha perso il visibile ogni sapore:

Perduto è il piacere della poesia,

L'ammirazione per il classico nitore.

Michael Wilkinson - British sculptor
