>Of crimson joy:
>And his dark secret love
>Does thy life destroy.

What did he mean by this?

      I read it and shuddered and saw vivid imagery that I did not know the meaning of and now I'm trying to decipher the poem.

            I understand not understanding poetry but you are so stupid you deserve to get crushed by a falling piano.
            Would you like me to go over the poem line by line or would you still insist it has some further esoteric meaning beyond Blake having a poetic mind and rendering something mundane in beautiful language and meter?

            First of all, I'm not OP. Second of all, you definitely sound unhinged and you definitely need to take a chill pill LOL

      Keats > Blake

      I know my opinion is plebeian and that Blake was undoubtedly greater but the divine vision of Keats is sorely underappreciated and he certainly would have become a greater poet than Blake had he lived longer.

        Blake was a fraud, Keats was the best English poet. You're a cringe homosexual.

          Anon, I love Keats too, but you need to let go. Keats died young, and Blake is one of the greats.

            He's just not good enough. His appeal is overblown by his cult following. Meanwhile Keats had genuine lyrical excellence and he stands tall as a giant when assessed purely based on his poetic talent. Blake does not. Yeats was also a pseudo-mystic poet but he was actually good.
