Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art —

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art —
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors —
No — yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft swell and fall,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever — or else swoon to death.

                                   

This is the famous sonnet by John Keats, written in 1818 for his fiancé. It has been my favorite sonnet since I first read it. I'm sure it's not without notice that this is also where I got my username from and also the title of this blog. What can I say, I needed something to put up there, and let's face it: originality is not something I have the patience to wait for, even if it is myself who has to come up with it. :P


Well, I don't really expect too many people to follow this blog. I'm not even sure if I will end up maintaining it properly, be that due to lack of time or lack of inspiration. I've made blogs in the past, but I hope that this time I will be able to keep up with it for a while at least. :)


Since it is the first post in this blog I think it's just fair to give a shoutout to my first follower, who also happens to be my sweet friend, who I love dearly. My sweet, sweet Suria! ^.^ Thanks, love, for being so stalkery and the first to follow my blog. ;)


My intention for this blog is to post stories and pictures. Not much to go on, I know, lol... but I'm not quite sure yet what I'll make of this blog, or what it will turn out to be.
In any case, I hope that everybody that will follow this blog will enjoy what I have to say. :)
