To who has been confined in the city for a long time,
It is very sweet to lose one's gaze
Into the beautiful open face of heaven—to breathe forth a prayer
In full smile of the blue firmament.
John Keats
“Every quest is an escape in reverse. What Keats seeks is a refuge, a retreat to welcome the beauty and truth of the universe, in joy, through a wide-open window (Spinoza would have seen in such an asylum an allegory of happiness). This protected, circumscribed, timeless, secret and sacred sphere, where he indulges in all sorts of sensory experiences, is the sanctuary of poetry.”
Lucien d'Azay
