LQ: To Keats with Affection

I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion - I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more - I could be martyred for my religion - Love is my religion - I could die for that.

- John Keats

...That he would die so young with many more lovely words within him is the tragedy, but that he has given us so many is the triumph. Bittersweet, have you no shame?
