12th November photo - Bright Star

I have been to the cinema to see this divine film. It is about the love affair between the poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne. It was such a beautiful film - I am at a loss to describe how beautiful it was - I was mesmerised from the start right to the end. When they were parted he wrote to her of his affection and how precious her love was - his letters were just beautiful. Some of his poetry was also featured in the film - but I did not understand all of it - its not as clear in meaning as Pablo Neruda's. Perhaps like all passionate love affairs are doomed to - this one also ended in tragedy.

I have bought the book of his letters to Fanny so I can indulge in reading them when ever I want to.
