Call the world if you please "the vale of soul-making." Then you will find out the use of the world.
John KeatsGive me books, fruit, French wine and fine weather and a little music out of doors, played by someone I do not know. I admire lolling on a lawn by a water-lilied pond to eat white currants and see goldfish: and go to the fair in the evening if I'm good. There is not hope for that -one is sure to get into some mess before evening.
John KeatsI have an habitual feeling of my real life having past, and that I am leading a posthumous existence.
