25 de Março - começar o dia com arte e poesia - Keats e 'O Castelo Encantado'



“You know, I am sure, Claude’s Enchanted Castle and I wish you may be pleased with my remembrance of it.” —John Keats, 25 March 1818



Keats era fascinado por esta pintura, O Castelo Encantado, que pensa-se terá inspirado a "Ode to a Nightingale".

You know the Enchanted Castle,—it doth stand
Upon a rock, on the border of a Lake,
Nested in trees, which all do seem to shake ...

You know it well enough, where it doth seem
A mossy place, a Merlin's Hall, a dream;
You know the clear Lake, and the little Isles,
The mountains blue, and cold near neighbor rills,
(excerto)


Claude Lorrain, Landscape with Psyche Outside the Palace of Cupid, or The Enchanted Castle, 1664
