“A thing of beauty is a joy forever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness”
Bk. I, l. 1
Endymion (1818)

Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
