Thank you Hope Ray for commenting. To me it is a soothing continuance rather than a painful contradiction but that's fascinating to know that it can be seen differently - as I think I've said before I love how words can resonate differently so thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

Thanks for your comments, Graham and Tony, and for your additional one, Stephen. Our Rome trip was six years ago. Reading about Keats back then, I was struck by this image of Italy's neglected and unrestored ruins in the early 19th century. Cows grazed among the strange pillars of the Forum poking up out of the earth.

A timely write Greg. I’ve just been reading about the Keats family. All in all a tragic bunch. One of my favourites from schooldays (an age ago) JK had a good pair of eyes. You’ve done him proud here.

Thank you for your comment Stephen, and I admit I am especially fond of this one myself too. Since they are all my children, friends, and many of them even my rescuers too then of course I can't pick favourites, but this is certainly a very significant one and I've been looking forward to posting it.

Thank you for the comments Julie & Stephen. Wasn't sure if it was going to be a song or a poem. Somewhere in between I think.

I recall a film about this woman and the movement of which she was
a part. Courageous in her commitment to the end, even impressing
her German interrogator who, it seemed, would have seen her avoid
the guillotine if possible.

Good morning Hope Ray and thank you for commenting, ?

I agree with you that our failures and downfalls can be the route to whatever we achieve afterwards, in this dream-scape failures are the droplets of rain and hopes and plans are trees and flowers (which need some rain to grow).
