On 23 February 1821, John Keats died in Rome at 25. He once wrote: “If I should die… I have left no immortal work behind me…” He was wrong. He wrote poetry that has proved immortal — work that still resonates today. To mark the day share a line of his that has stayed with you.

#OTD 1800 Coleridge writes to Humphry Davy "We drank tea the night before I left Grasmere on the Island in that lovely lake, our kettle swung over the fire hanging from the branch of a Fir Tree and I lay & saw woods & mountains & lake all trembling”
