Of all the Romantic poets, I do love Keats the best.  Why?  For stanzas like this one, from "
Ode on a Grecian Urn."
| Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed |  | 
  | Your leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu; |  | 
  | And, happy melodist, unwearièd, |  | 
  | For ever piping songs for ever new; |  | 
  | More happy love! more happy, happy love! | 
 | 
  | For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd, |  | 
  | For ever panting, and for ever young; |  | 
  | All breathing human passion far above, |  | 
  | That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy'd, |  | 
  | A burning forehead, and a parching tongue. |
