0:01:58 > 0:02:01(CHILDREN ARGUE)

0:02:01 > 0:02:04- (MOTHER)- Get down!

0:02:04 > 0:02:07You'll have no supper if you keep that up.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Hello, Joy.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Hello.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15Is all well?

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Very good, thank you.

0:02:18 > 0:02:19- Hello. - Hello.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Good morning, Joy. - Hello.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Sorry! - Welcome!

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Where is Mr Keats?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28I am afraid he is not joining us.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32He is in Mr Brown's half of the house.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Ah, the very well-stitched Little Miss Brawne,

0:02:37 > 0:02:39in all her detail.

0:02:39 > 0:02:40Good morning.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46What is this? What have I done? How have I offended?

0:02:46 > 0:02:49I don't shake hands with the enemy.

0:02:49 > 0:02:50An enemy?

0:02:50 > 0:02:53What have I done to you?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55You do nothing to me.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Or for me and that's how I'd prefer to keep it.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00What?

0:03:01 > 0:03:05Your offence is to my fashion, Mr Brown.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07To which I am so helplessly slavish.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I have been ill quoted.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12"Her obsession with flounce and cross-stitch."

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Cross-stitch, Miss Brawne, I don't know what that means.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17Baiting, baiting.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19I feel the same about your poems, Mr Brown.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22I know nothing of what they mean.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24They puff smoke, dissolve,

0:03:24 > 0:03:28leaving nothing but irritation.

0:03:28 > 0:03:29Fanny, take this tea to Mr Keats.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31He is in very poor spirits.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Mr Keats is composing and does not want disturbing.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37It is my finding, in the business of disturbing,

0:03:37 > 0:03:38you are the expert.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42Fanny, why not speak to one of us you hold in higher favour?

0:03:42 > 0:03:43- I'm praising him! - Fanny...

0:03:43 > 0:03:47Please, Fanny, I'm wanting to know what you shall say about Mr Keats.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50I've been waiting two weeks that I may enjoy your opinion.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53I cannot look upon him without smiling.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57And he is quick with his thoughts, though, now they are mostly sad.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59His brother Tom's not at all better.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02< Very diminished.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03< Mr Keats nurses him alone.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05< It is difficult work.

0:04:05 > 0:04:10- < Is there no other family member? - < No, the parents are both dead.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12< There is only a much younger sister,

0:04:12 > 0:04:15and a brother who lives in America.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Come in!

0:04:28 > 0:04:30(LAUGHS)

0:04:30 > 0:04:33You like jokes, Mr Keats.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35I like jokes.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Mr Brown, I warn you, does not like my jokes.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Complains I care for nothing but fashion.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Would you like biscuits?

0:04:51 > 0:04:52You've come to spy.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Spy?

0:04:56 > 0:04:58How will you describe me?

0:04:58 > 0:05:01My character?

0:05:01 > 0:05:03I'm not the least interested in your character.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10My jacket, then.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13My pantaloons.

0:05:16 > 0:05:17You need a new jacket.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19- That's what I would say. - Is that all?

0:05:20 > 0:05:22It should be a velvet.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Blue velvet.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Tell me, Miss Brawne, how can you be so sure?

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Well, all I wear I have sewn and designed myself.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37I am often told I am clever to exception about design.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40I originated the pleats on my dress.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS) It's a charming and -

0:05:42 > 0:05:44(DOOR OPENS)

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Has she annoyed you sufficiently?

0:05:48 > 0:05:51She's done brilliant well with me.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52Men's room. Out.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54Poet's got to do a bit of writing.

0:05:54 > 0:05:58My stitching has more merit and admirers than your

0:05:58 > 0:06:00two scribblings put together.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Goodbye, Minxtress.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04And I can make money from it.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36Yes?

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Have you got John Keats's poem book?

0:06:41 > 0:06:42In.. In..?

0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Endymion? - Endymion, yes.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48I've not heard much good about it. I've not sold one.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51I took 20.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54My sister has met the author.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58She wants to read it for herself to see if he's an idiot or not.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02< (CHILDREN'S VOICES OUTSIDE)

0:07:04 > 0:07:06< (FRONT DOOR CLOSES)

0:07:08 > 0:07:10(APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS) >

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Unwrap it.

0:07:43 > 0:07:44Read it.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever,

0:07:49 > 0:07:53"Its loveliness increases, it will never pass into nothingness

0:07:53 > 0:07:56"But still will keep a bower quiet for us, and a sleep

0:07:56 > 0:08:00"Full of sweet dreams, and health and quiet breathing."

0:08:00 > 0:08:01Stop.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13"..yes. In spite of all,

0:08:13 > 0:08:15"some shape of beauty moves away the pall

0:08:15 > 0:08:17"from our dark spirits."

0:08:23 > 0:08:25(STRINGS)

0:08:43 > 0:08:46(APPLAUSE)

0:08:48 > 0:08:49You're welcome.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55I'd love to speak with Mr Keats.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever,

0:09:15 > 0:09:19"Its loveliness increases, it will never pass into nothingness."

0:09:19 > 0:09:20You've read Endymion?

0:09:20 > 0:09:23I wanted to adore it.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27But you hated it?

0:09:27 > 0:09:29I can't say.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Are you frightened to speak truthfully?

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Never.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Well, tell me then.

0:09:37 > 0:09:38No.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I am not clever with poetry.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Neither, it seems, am I.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Still, I have some hope for myself.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49I think hope useful.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53But?

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Hope and results are different.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58One doesn't necessarily create the other.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Would practise help?

0:10:01 > 0:10:03It might.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06I wasn't always able to stitch so well.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10This is the first frock in all of Woolwich or Hampstead

0:10:10 > 0:10:13to have a triple pleated mushroom collar.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Isn't that an identical one behind you?

0:10:31 > 0:10:33My card's completely full.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36But you don't dance, Mr Keats.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37I love to dance.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40I don't feel like dancing.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Is your brother still ill?

0:10:44 > 0:10:46He is no better.

0:10:46 > 0:10:51My father was ill for as long as I can remember.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54He died when I was still very young.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Excuse me.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59May I?

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Mama!

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Fanny has cut my ribbon and she never asked. >

0:11:17 > 0:11:18What are you doing, Fanny?

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Trying to bring some comfort to a dying man.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23What dying man? Where are you taking them?

0:11:23 > 0:11:29I cannot offer poor Mr Keats's brother anything that's not perfect.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47It's me, Miss Brawne.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49I have something to deliver to Mr Keats.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53Leave it at the door!

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Is he not there?

0:11:55 > 0:11:57We're working, Mrs Brawne!

0:11:57 > 0:12:01I have something for your brother, Mr Keats.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Invite her in.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Brown.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17- You disgusting ape. - (LAUGHS)

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Be careful as you enter the apes' cage.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23(MAKES MONKEY NOISE)

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Sit next to me, Miss Brawne.

0:12:26 > 0:12:30My prospects in the world feel very faint.

0:12:30 > 0:12:31(MONKEY NOISE)

0:12:31 > 0:12:34This room is so poorly cared for.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36(SHRIEKS)

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Please try one.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42I'm anxious they will cause him to choke.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48No! Try another and I swear I shall bite you.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49Take care,

0:12:49 > 0:12:51she has sharp teeth.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53She sunk her fangs

0:12:53 > 0:12:56into my poor poem and shook it apart.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59I'm very sorry I couldn't love your Endymion completely, Mr Keats.

0:12:59 > 0:13:04Perhaps I did not say, but I thought the beginning of your poem

0:13:04 > 0:13:05something very perfect.

0:13:08 > 0:13:09Oh, don't leave us.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13You can see for yourself, nothing is happening.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16All we do is lie about the room all day, begging for inspiration.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Please, tell me what I should do.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Miss Brawne.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25We monkeys just want a little company.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27(DOOR CLOSES)

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Well. I gave him the biscuits.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37Mr Brown kept -

0:13:39 > 0:13:42If we have finished tiffing, come and say hello to Tom.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44It might cheer him.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46We'll have to ask Mama.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47No, we don't, Toots.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Yes, we do, isn't that so, Samuel?

0:13:50 > 0:13:52We have to stick together.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54I'm going.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58You will have to come with me.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Would you like to go by the pond or through the words?

0:14:02 > 0:14:05I have explored all these paths.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Which are more in number than your eyelashes.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11My eyelashes?

0:14:15 > 0:14:18You know...

0:14:18 > 0:14:21..it amazes me you can sit opposite Mr Brown all day.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I've never heard him say one thing of wit.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Not one.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27You favour wit?

0:14:27 > 0:14:30I rate it the highest.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32You like the fashionables?

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Yes. I do.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39Men who say things that make you start without making you feel.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Things that are amusing.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45I know these dandies.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49They have a mannerism in their very eating and drinking.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Their handling of a decanter.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55You are making an attack on me?

0:14:55 > 0:14:59No, I am defending Mr Brown's generous, good heart.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02By attacking myself?

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Forgive me.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10I've been too long at my brother's sickbed.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Can we not still appreciate clever humour?

0:15:29 > 0:15:30Oh, thank God. >

0:15:30 > 0:15:32He's been calling out for you.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34- (COUGHING) > - Come in.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39- John! - Tom.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41Get back into bed.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42I know.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44I was having this dream.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46It's all right, I'm here now.

0:15:46 > 0:15:51- Where have you been, John? I just... - Calm, now. Calm.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54- I was worried. - It's all right.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58I was so hot in this bed.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00I was so scared for a while.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02I just panicked.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04- I want to go, I want to leave. It smells.- Shh.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Or I'll cut your hair in the night.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Good evening, John. - Good evening.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Keats, I hope you've not forgotten your bassoon.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Of course not, it's in my waistcoat pocket.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Hello, Mr Keats. - Hello, Minx.

0:16:26 > 0:16:27How's Tom?

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Gentlemen of the orchestra, just through here, >

0:16:29 > 0:16:32ladies, straight ahead, please. Thank you.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Is he showing any signs of improvement?

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Don't ask me of Tom, Minx.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40The only good I can do is say how I love him.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42< Hurry on, gentlemen.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52(LAUGHTER)

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Someone submitted anonymously to the examiner an exquisite sonnet.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Mm-hmm? - Composed on the subject of

0:16:59 > 0:17:02whether love itself could be the tenth Muse Of Heaven.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Come on. - En guarde!

0:17:07 > 0:17:09That's my sword, brute!

0:17:10 > 0:17:11Love the tenth Muse?

0:17:11 > 0:17:13It is full of the most perfect allusions

0:17:13 > 0:17:15and really beautifully realised.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18I thought at first it might be one of yours.

0:17:18 > 0:17:22We were just telling Mrs Brawne of Keats' review in Blackwood's.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Was it so very bad?

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- "No man could have..." - "Profaned...

0:17:28 > 0:17:31(BOTH)"..and vulgarised every association in the manner

0:17:31 > 0:17:36"in which has been adopted by this solemn promise."

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Did they not admire the opening?

0:17:38 > 0:17:40It was perfect. Even I could know that.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Do you like poetry, Miss Brawne?

0:17:44 > 0:17:47No. Poems are a strain to work out.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49John, we are talking,

0:17:49 > 0:17:53or about to talk, of your defence of Mr Keats's poem, Endymion.

0:17:53 > 0:17:54Yes.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01"..I have clung to nothing, lov'd a nothing, nothing seen

0:18:01 > 0:18:04"Or felt but a great dream. O, I have been

0:18:04 > 0:18:06"Presumptuous against love, against the sky,

0:18:06 > 0:18:08"against all elements, against the tie

0:18:08 > 0:18:11"Of mortals each to each."

0:18:11 > 0:18:13The rhythm is beautiful and unique.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16There are rhymes, but not on the beat. They are quiet but binding,

0:18:16 > 0:18:18the repetitions set you up to fly.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20"..I have clung to nothing,

0:18:20 > 0:18:22"Lov'd a nothing, nothing seen,

0:18:22 > 0:18:25- and here you come out - "Or felt but a great dream."

0:18:25 > 0:18:27- It's beautiful. - There are immaturities,

0:18:27 > 0:18:30but also immensities. That is what they didn't say.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33It was said. You said it, brother.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Very bravely.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42Ladies, the Hampstead Heathens are about to begin. Reynolds?

0:18:42 > 0:18:43I thought I'd been expelled?

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Oh no, I think not, you are very much needed.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49(MALE VOICE CHOIR SINGS)

0:19:48 > 0:19:51(INSTRUCTS IN FRENCH)

0:20:07 > 0:20:10(SOBS) Mr Keats is... >

0:20:10 > 0:20:12(INSTRUCTS IN FRENCH)

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Mr Keats is dead.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21(CRIES) So young.

0:20:29 > 0:20:30Is it Tom?

0:20:37 > 0:20:39(SPEAKS IN FRENCH)

0:20:39 > 0:20:41(SPEAKS IN FRENCH)

0:21:09 > 0:21:12- (MR BROWN) - I woke with the strange sensation

0:21:12 > 0:21:15of someone holding my hand.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18I opened my eyes and there was John.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21I knew immediately what had happened and then he said,

0:21:21 > 0:21:25"Tom died. At 8 o'clock,

0:21:25 > 0:21:29"quietly and without pain."

0:21:33 > 0:21:34Of course, he can't go on living there,

0:21:34 > 0:21:39so I have invited Mr Keats to come and stay with me.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Well, we do have a long schedule of visits.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45I don't want to interfere with your plans...

0:21:45 > 0:21:46Minx.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50Are you unwell? I've never seen you so quiet.

0:22:01 > 0:22:02She sewed it all night long.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12It's a pillow slip.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Then I will rest Tom's head upon it.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Keats.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29The Reynolds are expecting us.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31I'll catch you up. Thank you.

0:22:34 > 0:22:35Invite me again.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Alone.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Come for Christmas.

0:22:41 > 0:22:42Mama?

0:22:42 > 0:22:45(SPEAKS FRENCH)

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Oh, yes, please do join us, Mr Keats.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Please.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Marianne Reynolds invited us for Christmas, remember?

0:22:53 > 0:22:55You were there when she said it. They're having musicians.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58- I'm sorry to spoil things. - Not at all.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Wherever Mr Keats is happy,

0:23:00 > 0:23:03- we're happy for him. - Why can't he be happy with us?

0:23:03 > 0:23:05Perhaps Mr Brown wants Mr Keats all to himself.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11I'm merely remembering to Mr Keats a previous engagement.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15Miss Brawne, I thought we were conversing.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35"Dear Mrs Brawne, may I yet join you for Christmas?

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Thank you.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12(CAT PURRS)

0:24:17 > 0:24:20I was wondering this morning if you are sleeping in my bed?

0:24:22 > 0:24:23Pardon?

0:24:23 > 0:24:27You see, I believe you are. We rented Mr Brown's half of the house

0:24:27 > 0:24:30this summer while you were journeying in Scotland.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Which room do you sleep in?

0:24:32 > 0:24:34The one overlooking the back garden.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37That was my bed!

0:24:39 > 0:24:42For proof, pull it from the wall and by the pillow,

0:24:42 > 0:24:44you will find a figure I drew with pin holes.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45Is the figure you?

0:24:47 > 0:24:49It's a fairy princess.

0:24:51 > 0:24:52Should I be feeding her?

0:24:52 > 0:24:55She refuses to eat.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Would you teach me poetry?

0:25:03 > 0:25:07I'd... like to understand it.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11I don't know how to begin.

0:25:11 > 0:25:12And it is three to the right..

0:25:12 > 0:25:13..two, three.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Three to the left. Two, three.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22(ALL BLOW THREE TIMES)

0:25:22 > 0:25:24(ALL SLURP)

0:25:24 > 0:25:25And down.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27And keep it going.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29So, that is the English drawing room.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34And this is something that I saw in Scotland.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42They kick.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46And they...

0:25:46 > 0:25:47..jump.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51And they twirl it.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53And they sweat it

0:25:53 > 0:25:56and they tattoo the floor with mud!

0:26:02 > 0:26:04What about a poem?

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Yes, please, Mr Keats.

0:26:07 > 0:26:08A short one.

0:26:08 > 0:26:09(ALL LAUGH)

0:26:51 > 0:26:53I do apologise, I've gone blank.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56You are tired. Should you like some sweet?

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Shall we have coffee and sweet?

0:28:02 > 0:28:04I've come for my poetry class.

0:28:05 > 0:28:09Your poetry class?

0:28:09 > 0:28:10Poetry classes?

0:28:10 > 0:28:11Keats, are we...

0:28:11 > 0:28:15Are we teaching poetry today?

0:28:18 > 0:28:20I hope I don't disturb.

0:28:20 > 0:28:21Take a seat.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25Have a look at that.

0:28:27 > 0:28:31A poet is not at all poetical.

0:28:31 > 0:28:36He is the most un-poetical thing in existence.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39He has no identity.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41He is continually filling some other body.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44The sun, the moon -

0:28:44 > 0:28:47I cannot restrain my credibility longer.

0:28:47 > 0:28:48Miss Brawne.

0:28:48 > 0:28:52Is this really you or are you acting?

0:28:52 > 0:28:53It's really me.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Is it?

0:28:55 > 0:28:56Charles.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58I have a pupil.

0:28:58 > 0:28:59Desist or depart.

0:28:59 > 0:29:02Apologies.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18My modest hope is that the cost of the lesson will not be the poet.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21The cost of the lesson is that Mr Keats

0:29:21 > 0:29:23will discuss poetry with me.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26- You don't mean to read the poems? - Until I know all the poets

0:29:26 > 0:29:29and poems in the world, since I have nothing to do,

0:29:29 > 0:29:32- as you so many times have noted. - I bow to your ambition.

0:29:39 > 0:29:40(DOOR CLOSES)

0:29:40 > 0:29:43Now he has gone, I shall find it easier to talk.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59Can you say something of the craft of poetry?

0:29:59 > 0:30:02Poetic craft is a carcass.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05A sham.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10If poetry does not come as naturally as leaves to a tree,

0:30:10 > 0:30:12then it had better not come at all.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21I'm mistaken.

0:30:23 > 0:30:24I'm not sure I can teach you.

0:30:24 > 0:30:28Was I too rude? I can apologise.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30I'm not sure I have...

0:30:30 > 0:30:34..the right feelings towards women.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38I am suspicious of my feelings.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Do you not like me?

0:30:43 > 0:30:46I am attracted to you without knowing why.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54All women confuse me, even my mother.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01I yearn to be ruined by shrews and saved by angels,

0:31:01 > 0:31:04and in reality, I've only ever really loved my sister.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10I am annoyed by my sister as often as I love her.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15I still don't know how to work out a poem.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18A poem needs understanding through the senses.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24The point of diving in a lake...

0:31:26 > 0:31:28..is not immediately to swim to the shore,

0:31:28 > 0:31:30but to be in the lake,

0:31:30 > 0:31:36to luxuriate in the sensation of water.

0:31:36 > 0:31:39You do not work the lake out.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42It is an experience beyond thought.

0:31:43 > 0:31:49Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept mystery.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51I love mystery.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58I found your fairy princess on the wall in my room.

0:31:58 > 0:31:59You could make her out?

0:31:59 > 0:32:01She wears a butterfly frock.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07Shall we continue?

0:32:10 > 0:32:13(CAT PURRS)

0:32:20 > 0:32:22Mr Keats is very brilliant.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29I'm not sure he really likes me.

0:32:29 > 0:32:33He prefers Toots and Samuel.

0:32:33 > 0:32:34Even our cat,

0:32:34 > 0:32:38who he's always petting to death.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Mr Keats knows he cannot like you.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45He has no living and no income.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06Mr Keats isn't here.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08He said to tell you he had a sore throat

0:33:08 > 0:33:13and thought it best to stay on in Chichester.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16You don't believe me? Come in.

0:33:16 > 0:33:17Come in.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23There, no Keats.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29Tell us, what Chaucer did you read?

0:33:29 > 0:33:31All of it.

0:33:31 > 0:33:36Also Mr Spencer, Mr Milton and The Odyssey.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40That's a lot to read in one week.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43What did you think of The Odyssey?

0:33:45 > 0:33:47I am yet part way through it.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50But I've read all Mr Keats has written.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52Have you?

0:33:58 > 0:34:03"Out went the taper as she hurried in,

0:34:15 > 0:34:18And what, Miss Brawne, did you make of Paradise Lost?

0:34:18 > 0:34:22Oh, I... I liked it.

0:34:22 > 0:34:23Did you?

0:34:25 > 0:34:28You didn't find Milton's rhymes a little pouncing?

0:34:28 > 0:34:31No.

0:34:31 > 0:34:32Did you not?

0:34:32 > 0:34:34Not very.

0:34:42 > 0:34:45Is it the material of her dress that makes Miss Brawne's eyes

0:34:45 > 0:34:46so amber-like?

0:34:48 > 0:34:51Oh, yes, they are golden.

0:34:51 > 0:34:52Amber, almost.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54Yes. Yes, what colours are yours, Mr Brown?

0:35:11 > 0:35:14Did you see Mr Brown?

0:35:14 > 0:35:16He was amazed.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19Well, all those authors in just one week is incredible.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21I know.

0:35:21 > 0:35:25But he sees that I am serious and I will read them.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50Should I invite him inside?

0:37:02 > 0:37:05Mr Brown sent you a Valentine.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08I think it was a joke.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10< Keats!

0:37:10 > 0:37:12Keats! John, wait.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25- John. - I was away for ten days, Brown,

0:37:25 > 0:37:27with you encouraging me to stay on and get well.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29- John, easy. - You write Miss Brawne

0:37:29 > 0:37:31a Valentine's card. Are you lovers?

0:37:31 > 0:37:32- John. - That the truth?

0:37:32 > 0:37:33Easy.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35You sent a card, Charles.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37You have the income to marry. I have not. Did you accept it?

0:37:37 > 0:37:40John, I sent that Valentine...

0:37:42 > 0:37:43..it was only a jest.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46For whom? I'm not laughing, Miss Brawne is not laughing.

0:37:46 > 0:37:49I wrote the Valentine to amuse Fanny

0:37:49 > 0:37:51who makes a religion of flirting.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53John, she's what? A poetry scholar one week,

0:37:53 > 0:37:56and a military expert the next?

0:37:56 > 0:37:57It is a game.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00It is a game to her. She collects -

0:38:00 > 0:38:02There is a holiness to the heart's affections.

0:38:02 > 0:38:06Know you nothing of that?

0:38:16 > 0:38:18Believe me, it's not pride.

0:38:34 > 0:38:35Are you in love with Mr Brown?

0:38:47 > 0:38:50Why don't you speak?

0:38:51 > 0:38:53She can't speak because

0:38:53 > 0:38:57she only knows how to flirt and sew.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00Isn't that right?

0:39:02 > 0:39:05Yes, and read all Milton,

0:39:05 > 0:39:09whose rhymes do not pounce, Miss Brawne,

0:39:09 > 0:39:12because there are none!

0:39:50 > 0:39:53And then we could introduce the princess sooner.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58Perhaps Act Three could begin with a tempest.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03What else do you think?

0:40:22 > 0:40:23We're going to live next door!

0:40:23 > 0:40:27The Dilkes are moving to Westminster

0:42:01 > 0:42:04Yes, but of a weightier nature.

0:45:17 > 0:45:21Go higher, higher! No! A bit lower.

0:45:45 > 0:45:49I had such a dream last night.

0:46:13 > 0:46:16Who was the figure?

0:46:28 > 0:46:34I must have had my eyes closed, because I can't remember.

0:46:35 > 0:46:38And yet you remember the tree tops?

0:46:38 > 0:46:40Not so well as I remember the lips.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47Whose lips?

0:46:47 > 0:46:50Were they my lips?

0:47:28 > 0:47:30Fanny?

0:47:41 > 0:47:43Fanny?

0:47:48 > 0:47:50Fanny?

0:47:54 > 0:47:56< Fanny!

0:48:59 > 0:49:02(SAMUEL) Mr Brown bet I couldn't find a nightingale's nest.

0:49:02 > 0:49:06- (BROWN)- There is no nest and no bet.

0:49:08 > 0:49:10(MIMICS BIRD CALL)

0:49:10 > 0:49:11That one over there.

0:49:11 > 0:49:12You couldn't have seen it in a tree.

0:49:12 > 0:49:15- They don't nest in trees. - I know what I saw

0:49:15 > 0:49:17and it was a nightingale.

0:49:35 > 0:49:39"Soon, trembling in her soft and chilly nest,

0:49:39 > 0:49:45"In sort of wakeful swoon, perplex'd she lay..."

0:49:45 > 0:49:48See, here, there are tears.

0:49:51 > 0:49:54You are so far ahead of me and above me.

0:49:59 > 0:50:01Brown, I'm... amazed.

0:50:04 > 0:50:06Your writing...

0:50:06 > 0:50:12is... the finest thing in my life.

0:50:18 > 0:50:22You wrote this, little hand, did you do it?

0:50:31 > 0:50:35As one who truly loves you, I must warn you kindly of the trap

0:50:35 > 0:50:36that you are walking into, John.

0:50:36 > 0:50:38If you're going to speak of Miss Brawne,

0:50:38 > 0:50:41we have never agreed and cannot agree.

0:50:41 > 0:50:43For one or two of your slippery blisses,

0:50:43 > 0:50:45you'll lose your freedom permanently.

0:50:45 > 0:50:49You'll be slaving at medicine 15 hours a day and for what?

0:50:49 > 0:50:52To keep Mrs Keats in French ribbon.

0:50:54 > 0:50:57I cherish your talent, I truly do.

0:50:57 > 0:50:58Then allow me my happiness,

0:50:58 > 0:51:01for I am writing again.

0:51:28 > 0:51:33"My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains my sense,

0:51:33 > 0:51:36"As though of hemlock I had drunk,

0:53:05 > 0:53:09Have you told Miss Brawne our summer holiday or shall I?

0:53:13 > 0:53:14Not as yet.

0:53:18 > 0:53:21Mr Brown is doing his summer rental.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23So we both have to leave.

0:53:25 > 0:53:27We're meeting up on the Isle of Wight

0:53:48 > 0:53:50I will not speak to him.

0:53:50 > 0:53:52Fanny, I was going to tell you.

0:54:00 > 0:54:03Fanny, I have no money.

0:54:04 > 0:54:07In fact, I am in debt.

0:54:08 > 0:54:11I must earn.

0:54:11 > 0:54:14I must write and make a living.

0:54:14 > 0:54:16If I fail, though I hate to think on it,

0:54:16 > 0:54:19then I must make way so another may marry and adore you as I wish to.

0:54:19 > 0:54:26No, I will not be adored. Ever again, by you or by anyone.

0:54:28 > 0:54:32(CRIES) I hate you.

0:55:09 > 0:55:12Fanny, will you check my stitch? It's an open-work seam.

0:55:12 > 0:55:16God, no, Toots, I don't care a damn for stitches.

0:55:30 > 0:55:32(DOOR OPENS)

0:55:38 > 0:55:39No letter?

0:55:39 > 0:55:41Not today.

0:55:47 > 0:55:50Am I in love?

0:55:52 > 0:55:55Is this love?

0:55:59 > 0:56:02I shall never tease about it again.

0:57:00 > 0:57:03what pleasure I might have in living here

0:57:46 > 0:57:48I love you.

0:57:49 > 0:57:50I love you, Toots.

0:57:54 > 0:57:58"Will you confess this in a letter, you must write immediately,

0:57:58 > 0:58:01and do all you can to console me in it -

0:58:01 > 0:58:04make it rich as a draught of poppies to intoxicate me -

0:58:04 > 0:58:08write the softest words and kiss them,

0:58:08 > 0:58:13that I may at least touch my lips where yours have been."

0:58:15 > 0:58:17"My Dear Mr Keats,

0:58:17 > 0:58:19thank you for your letter."

0:58:19 > 0:58:24"Lately, I've felt so nervous and ill that I had to stay five days in bed."

0:58:24 > 0:58:26"Having received your letter,

0:58:26 > 0:58:29I am up again, walking our paths in the heath."

0:58:29 > 0:58:33"I have begun a butterfly farm in my bedroom in honour of us."

0:58:33 > 0:58:36"Sammy and Toots are catching them for me."

0:58:36 > 0:58:40"Samuel has made a science of it and is collecting both caterpillars

0:58:40 > 0:58:45and chrysalises so we may have them fluttering about us a week or more."

0:58:49 > 0:58:53"I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks."

0:58:53 > 0:58:56"Your loveliness and the hour of my death."

0:58:56 > 0:59:01"O, that I could have possession of them both in the same minute."

0:59:01 > 0:59:05"I never knew before what such a love as you has made me feel was."

0:59:05 > 0:59:07"I did not believe in it."

0:59:07 > 0:59:10"But if you will fully love me, though there may be some fire,

0:59:10 > 0:59:12'twill not be more than we can bear

0:59:17 > 0:59:21(Bedewed with pleasures...)

0:59:44 > 0:59:46There's no air.

0:59:46 > 0:59:47No, Mama, they love the heat.

0:59:47 > 0:59:49We're going to lose them.

0:59:49 > 0:59:51Listen, "I love you more

0:59:51 > 0:59:54in that I believe you have liked me for my own sake."

0:59:55 > 0:59:57"I have met with women whom I really think

1:00:13 > 1:00:16When I don't hear from him, it's as if I've died.

1:00:16 > 1:00:20As if the air is sucked out from my lungs.

1:00:20 > 1:00:23And I am left desolate, but when I receive a letter,

1:00:23 > 1:00:26I know our world is real.

1:00:26 > 1:00:29It's the one I care for.

1:00:30 > 1:00:33Watch the butterfly.

1:00:33 > 1:00:35Well, move it.

1:00:49 > 1:00:50Fanny wants a knife.

1:00:50 > 1:00:53What for?

1:00:53 > 1:00:55To kill herself.

1:01:02 > 1:01:05I have such a short letter after all this time.

1:01:16 > 1:01:18In London and couldn't bring himself to visit

1:01:18 > 1:01:20for fear it would burn him up.

1:01:20 > 1:01:22He's made no fortune

1:01:22 > 1:01:25and is ashamed of it.

1:01:25 > 1:01:29If only he knew how little I, even you, care for that now.

1:01:44 > 1:01:47You missed that one.

1:02:01 > 1:02:03Mama asked me to welcome you home.

1:02:03 > 1:02:06And introduce you to Miss O'Donoghue, our new maid,

1:02:06 > 1:02:08who may also do for you.

1:02:08 > 1:02:10Please, sir, call me Abigail,

1:02:10 > 1:02:11or Abby.

1:02:11 > 1:02:14Very well. Be sure you do not enter if the door is closed.

1:02:14 > 1:02:17Yes, sir.

1:02:24 > 1:02:28Mr Keats is not coming back. He's gone to live in London.

1:02:30 > 1:02:34Please tell Mr Keats that we Brawnes have kept safe all his things.

1:02:46 > 1:02:49Mr Brown has said that I could learn to read still.

1:02:49 > 1:02:52I said to him, "Sure, what would I read?"

1:02:52 > 1:02:58He said, "Abigail, even the Bible is not so dull as you might believe."

1:02:58 > 1:03:01"And that in the Songs of Solomon,

1:03:01 > 1:03:06there are some bits so juicy they make even a church man blush."

1:03:06 > 1:03:10And he said that when I get down to the reading myself,

1:03:10 > 1:03:12I'll see he tells not one word of a lie.

1:03:28 > 1:03:31Hello, Toots.

1:03:36 > 1:03:38(LAUGHS)

1:03:43 > 1:03:45Hello, Mr Keats.

1:03:47 > 1:03:48Hello, Miss Brawne.

1:03:54 > 1:03:56Mother, we found it.

1:03:56 > 1:03:59Fanny had the key like I thought.

1:04:14 > 1:04:18What do you need for London?

1:04:48 > 1:04:50Your vest has no lining.

1:04:55 > 1:04:58And your coat...

1:05:05 > 1:05:07..has a small hole.

1:05:07 > 1:05:10I could mend it so you wouldn't see it.

1:05:13 > 1:05:17"My sweet girl, I am living today in yesterday."

1:05:17 > 1:05:21"I was in a complete fascination all day."

1:05:21 > 1:05:23"I feel myself at your mercy."

1:05:23 > 1:05:26"Write me ever so few lines, and tell me you will never forever

1:05:26 > 1:05:30be less kind than to me then yesterday."

1:05:30 > 1:05:31"You dazzled me."

1:05:31 > 1:05:35"There is nothing in the world so bright and delicate."

1:05:36 > 1:05:39"You have absorbed me."

1:05:39 > 1:05:43"I have a sensation at the present moment as if I was dissolving."

1:05:59 > 1:06:01Fanny.

1:06:01 > 1:06:04Mrs Dilke is telling me that, erm...

1:06:04 > 1:06:07..Mr Keats is proposing to move in next door again.

1:06:07 > 1:06:10And she wants to know if I have any objections.

1:06:10 > 1:06:13Of course you don't.

1:06:13 > 1:06:16Mr Brown is Mr Keats' best friend. Why would we object?

1:06:18 > 1:06:24Fanny, Mr Dilke and I are worried that such close connection

1:06:24 > 1:06:26may prove restrictive for you.

1:06:26 > 1:06:27No.

1:06:27 > 1:06:32Mr Keats can't afford to marry.

1:06:32 > 1:06:35His situation is really quite hopeless.

1:06:35 > 1:06:38And if he is next door, how will you meet anyone else?

1:06:38 > 1:06:41How will you go to dances?

1:06:41 > 1:06:43Oh, you are engaged.

1:06:43 > 1:06:45It's his mother's ring, it's not an engagement ring.

1:06:45 > 1:06:49- You are not to wear it. - I wear it on the finger next door.

1:06:49 > 1:06:51Do not even discuss it.

1:06:51 > 1:06:54You taught me love. You never said, "Only the rich."

1:06:54 > 1:06:56"Only a thimbleful."

1:06:56 > 1:07:00Attachment is such a difficult thing to undo.

1:08:42 > 1:08:46"Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,

1:08:47 > 1:08:51To feel forever its soft swell and fall,

1:08:53 > 1:08:56Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,

1:08:57 > 1:09:02Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath..."

1:09:08 > 1:09:09It's new.

1:09:12 > 1:09:14From which poem?

1:09:16 > 1:09:17Yours.

1:09:36 > 1:09:40Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night..."

1:09:45 > 1:09:49Why do you say "not"?

1:09:49 > 1:09:52"Not in lone splendour."

1:09:52 > 1:09:58You fear I am not steadfast because I oblige Mama by going to a dance?

1:10:01 > 1:10:03Don't tease, Fanny.

1:10:05 > 1:10:07Why are you laughing?

1:10:09 > 1:10:12I shall tell her I am unwell.

1:10:14 > 1:10:15No, go.

1:10:17 > 1:10:20Go.

1:10:21 > 1:10:23Go.

1:10:25 > 1:10:26Good Irish Abigail,

1:10:26 > 1:10:29who never did fail to make a scone

1:10:29 > 1:10:31as good as a swan.

1:10:38 > 1:10:40Would you like some jam with that, sir?

1:10:40 > 1:10:42Please.

1:10:47 > 1:10:49> Delicious.

1:10:55 > 1:10:57< Fanny?

1:10:57 > 1:10:59Come in, it's turned cold.

1:10:59 > 1:11:03Mr Keats has gone to London with no coat.

1:11:36 > 1:11:38John, have you had wine?

1:11:39 > 1:11:43I was...severely chilled.

1:11:44 > 1:11:48I was on the outside of the coach.

1:11:50 > 1:11:52But now I don't feel it.

1:11:52 > 1:11:56- (LOUD KNOCKING) - < Abigail!

1:11:56 > 1:12:00< Abigail, get up, dress yourself, we need a doctor.

1:12:03 > 1:12:06Abigail! Bring the water.

1:12:06 > 1:12:09I need a basin, a towel.

1:12:09 > 1:12:11And glasses. I need glasses.

1:12:11 > 1:12:13- Let me help, I can - - Stand back, stand back.

1:12:40 > 1:12:43Keats has already asked

1:12:43 > 1:12:46to see Miss Brawne, but I have managed him

1:12:46 > 1:12:47and said she had gone into town.

1:12:47 > 1:12:49But I have not.

1:12:49 > 1:12:52I'm speaking of keeping Mr Keats calm.

1:12:52 > 1:12:54This is a deception I will not join.

1:12:54 > 1:12:58No, no, no. It is not a deception.

1:12:58 > 1:13:03I am simply determined to preserve the life of my friend.

1:13:03 > 1:13:06You would have it that I kill Mr Keats with affection.

1:13:06 > 1:13:08- Fanny. - Perhaps you will.

1:13:08 > 1:13:09Apparently there's nothing I can do

1:13:09 > 1:13:14to persuade you of the gravity of the situation. Keats is in my care.

1:13:14 > 1:13:17All visits will follow my regime or they will not happen.

1:13:17 > 1:13:19Please, we Brawnes will do whatever we can

1:13:19 > 1:13:22to restore Mr Keats to health.

1:13:22 > 1:13:24Hmm?

1:13:37 > 1:13:40I was wondering where you were.

1:13:40 > 1:13:42I've been waiting to be with you.

1:13:42 > 1:13:45The whole day.

1:13:46 > 1:13:47Last night, there was a...

1:13:47 > 1:13:50(COUGHS)

1:13:54 > 1:13:56There was a great rush of blood.

1:13:58 > 1:14:00Such that I thought that I would...

1:14:00 > 1:14:02..suffocate.

1:14:04 > 1:14:06And I said to Mr Brown,

1:14:07 > 1:14:10"This is unfortunate."

1:14:11 > 1:14:14- My thoughts were of you. - (KNOCK ON DOOR)

1:14:41 > 1:14:43"My sweet creature."

1:14:43 > 1:14:47"When I send this round, I shall be in the front parlour,

1:14:47 > 1:14:51watching to see you show yourself for a minute in the garden."

1:14:54 > 1:14:56"When I look back upon the ecstasies

1:14:56 > 1:15:00in which I have passed some days, and the miseries in their turn,

1:19:07 > 1:19:10And her eyes were wild.

1:19:15 > 1:19:18And nothing else saw all day long,

1:21:02 > 1:21:05We, Brown, must find out who it is.

1:21:08 > 1:21:11he shall face up to his indecency.

1:21:11 > 1:21:13Will you call her?

1:21:13 > 1:21:15It's not necessary.

1:21:18 > 1:21:22She has me believe I'm the father.

1:21:22 > 1:21:25My God, I had no...

1:21:25 > 1:21:27..no notion of a love affair.

1:21:30 > 1:21:32There was none.

1:21:32 > 1:21:35Or I must have slept through it.

1:21:35 > 1:21:38With what ease you help yourself...

1:21:38 > 1:21:41I have agreed to pay for the child.

1:21:42 > 1:21:48And the worst thing is, I can't keep this place.

1:21:48 > 1:21:52I've to start my summer rental early

1:21:52 > 1:21:58and I feel wretched, turning you out while you're so unwell.

1:21:58 > 1:22:02But, John, I can't do anything else. I'm overloaded with debt.

1:22:02 > 1:22:04Don't concern yourself.

1:22:18 > 1:22:22In what stumbling ways a new soul is begun.

1:22:22 > 1:22:24I would very much value your opinion, Mr Keats,

1:22:24 > 1:22:27on a new painting of mine, "The Cave of Despair".

1:22:27 > 1:22:31> If you suggest he won't survive another winter in England,

1:22:31 > 1:22:32then we must do something.

1:22:32 > 1:22:35Gentlemen, I think we should hear Dr Bree on the issue of climate

1:22:35 > 1:22:37for Keats's health.

1:22:37 > 1:22:39Well, a move to a gentler climate is essential.

1:22:39 > 1:22:40I would recommend Italy.

1:22:40 > 1:22:43- Rome? - Rome is good.

1:22:43 > 1:22:47- Does he want to go to Rome? - Well, he has to go.

1:22:47 > 1:22:50He won't live through another winter in England.

1:22:53 > 1:22:55How do you feel about Italy, John?

1:22:55 > 1:22:58> I do think there is an issue of finance.

1:22:58 > 1:23:01(COUGHS)

1:23:05 > 1:23:07< It seems possible.

1:23:21 > 1:23:23Miss? Miss?

1:23:32 > 1:23:36I can help find a room for the summer, John, if you want?

1:23:45 > 1:23:47I want to go to Italy with you.

1:23:47 > 1:23:51- We can marry and I'll go with you. - My friends talk of going to Italy,

1:23:51 > 1:23:53but I have so little money...

1:23:53 > 1:23:55< Spare a penny, sir?

1:23:55 > 1:23:58I can barely afford these Kentish Town rooms.

1:25:24 > 1:25:27How long has Mr Keats been away?

1:25:27 > 1:25:29Five weeks.

1:25:29 > 1:25:32Perhaps it is for the best.

1:25:32 > 1:25:34Whose best?

1:25:34 > 1:25:38I thought it might be a relief to be separated,

1:25:38 > 1:25:42when the circumstances are so difficult.

1:25:42 > 1:25:44You all wish I would give up.

1:25:44 > 1:25:47But I can't.

1:25:47 > 1:25:50Even if I wanted to, I cannot.

1:26:32 > 1:26:34John?

1:26:34 > 1:26:37Keep away from me. You do not love me.

1:27:38 > 1:27:41Well, I need to examine the patient.

1:27:51 > 1:27:55May he stay tomorrow? Until he leaves for Italy?

1:27:55 > 1:27:57You're not even officially engaged.

1:42:53 > 1:42:56It's cold out.

1:42:57 > 1:42:59How are you all?

1:42:59 > 1:43:03We are all quite well enough, but how is Mr Keats?

1:43:03 > 1:43:05Mrs Brawne, it is...

1:43:05 > 1:43:11..as unbearable to me as I know it is to you.

1:43:13 > 1:43:15Mr Keats has died.

1:43:17 > 1:43:22I received an account from Severn.

1:43:22 > 1:43:26And I have copied it for you, Miss Brawne.

1:43:26 > 1:43:28Shall I just read it?

1:43:42 > 1:43:45"23rd February."

1:43:45 > 1:43:51"At four in the afternoon, Keats called me, 'Severn, Severn,'

1:43:51 > 1:43:57'lift me up for I am dying. I shall die easy.'"

1:43:57 > 1:43:59"'Don't be frightened.'"

1:43:59 > 1:44:02"'Thank God it has come.'"

1:44:02 > 1:44:06"At one point, a cold heavy sweat broke out over his whole body

1:44:06 > 1:44:10and he whispered, 'Don't breathe on me,

1:44:10 > 1:44:13it comes like ice.'"

1:44:13 > 1:44:15"Keats died imperceptibly."

1:44:15 > 1:44:18No more.

1:46:57 > 1:47:01"Bright star,

1:47:01 > 1:47:05would I were steadfast as thou art,

1:47:07 > 1:47:13Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night

1:47:13 > 1:47:16And watching,

1:47:16 > 1:47:20With eternal lids apart,

1:47:20 > 1:47:26Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,

1:47:27 > 1:47:31The moving waters at their priestlike task

1:47:31 > 1:47:35Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,

1:47:35 > 1:47:39Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask

1:47:39 > 1:47:42Of snow upon the mountains and the moors,

1:47:44 > 1:47:49No, yet still steadfast,

1:47:49 > 1:47:52Still unchangeable,

1:47:54 > 1:48:00Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,

1:48:00 > 1:48:04To feel for ever

1:48:04 > 1:48:08Its soft swell and fall,

1:48:10 > 1:48:12Awake for ever

1:48:15 > 1:48:19In a sweet unrest,

1:48:22 > 1:48:25Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,

1:48:28 > 1:48:31And so live ever,

1:48:31 > 1:48:35Or else swoon to death."

1:49:04 > 1:49:10"My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains my sense,

1:49:10 > 1:49:13As though of hemlock I had drunk,

1:49:13 > 1:49:15Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains

1:49:15 > 1:49:20One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk,

1:49:20 > 1:49:23'Tis not through envy of thy happy lot,

1:49:23 > 1:49:26But being too happy in thy happiness,

1:49:26 > 1:49:29That thou, light-winged dryad of the trees,

1:49:29 > 1:49:30In some melodious plot

1:49:30 > 1:49:33Of beechen green and shadows numberless,

1:49:33 > 1:49:38Singest of summer in full-throated ease.

1:49:38 > 1:49:41O for a draught of vintage that hath been

1:49:41 > 1:49:44Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth,

1:49:44 > 1:49:47Tasting of Flora and the country-green,

1:49:47 > 1:49:51Dance, and Provencal song, and sunburnt mirth!

1:49:51 > 1:49:54O for a beaker full of the warm South!

1:49:54 > 1:49:57Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene,

1:49:57 > 1:50:00With beaded bubbles winking at the brim,

1:50:00 > 1:50:03And purple-stained mouth..."
