Keats but compact. A guilt-free 'one extra' when making a stack.

A very sweet battered copy with excellent mid-century paperback design. Odes, Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St Agnes, Hyperion, sonnets, and the longer late/posthumous poems gathered into a small, durable edition for actual reading rather than shelf-worship. Romantic excess, feverish beauty, myth, death, desire, flowers, doom — all the good decorative rot. 

There is a real voltage here between delicacy and excess: the line can be perfumed, lush, almost embarrassingly gorgeous, then suddenly cold with mortality. For readers of Romanticism, myth, beauty, erotic dread, and the decorative rot of being alive in a body that will not last.

Everyman Paperbook No. 101, J. M. Dent & Sons / Aldine Press, re-edited and reset 1944, later reprint 1967. Paperback. Noticeable wear to covers, creasing, rubbing, age-toning, and some roughness/fragility at the edges; binding still holding and text readable.
