KEATS
"I am reading Endymion, and indulging, perhaps, too much in what Wordsworth calls the 'luxury of disrespect.' Such a rigmarole of tawdry, clever, vulgar, stupid, startling stuff I have not seen since Lothair. What do you think of him saying, in describing the face of a beautiful woman, 'Her nose was a gem'? Or how would you or I like to have a pair of 'alabaster arms' thrown round our necks? Commend me to good warm flesh and blood."
From Letter CCCXXVI, to Miss Molyneux, 11th April 1882
