00:02:33 It's mine.
00:02:34 -Get down.
00:02:35 -Good day, Mr. Phipps.
00:02:36 Get down.
00:02:40 You'll have no supper if you keep that up.
00:02:45 -Hello, Joy.
00:02:48 -Is all well?
00:02:52 -Hello.
00:02:53 -Good morning, Joy.
00:02:55 -Sorry.
00:02:59 Where is Mr. Keats?
00:03:00 I'm afraid he is not joining us.
00:03:02 He's in Mr. Brown's half of the house.
00:03:05 Hello.
00:03:07 Hello.
00:03:09 The very well stitched Little Miss Brawne
00:03:15 Good morning.
00:03:18 What is this? What have I done?
00:03:22 I don't shake hands with the enemy.
00:03:24 An enemy? What have I done to you?
00:03:29 You do nothing to me or for me,
00:03:35 What?
00:03:37 Your offense is to my fashion, Mr. Brown.
00:03:39 Oh, dear.
00:03:40 To which I'm ''so helplessly slavish.''
00:03:43 I have been ill-quoted.
00:03:45 ''Her obsession
00:03:49 Cross-stitch? Miss Brawne,
00:03:51 -I don't even know what that means.
00:03:55 I feel the same about your poems,
00:03:57 I know nothing of what they mean.
00:03:59 They puff smoke, dissolve,
00:04:04 Fanny, take this tea to Mr. Keats.
00:04:08 Mr. Keats is composing
00:04:12 It's my finding in the business of disturbing,
00:04:15 Fanny, why not speak to one of us
00:04:18 I'm praising him!
00:04:20 -Fanny.
00:04:22 I'm wanting to know what you shall say
00:04:25 I've been waiting two weeks
00:04:28 I cannot look upon him without smiling.
00:04:31 And he is quick with his thoughts,
00:04:36 His brother Tom's not at all better.
00:04:39 Very diminished.
00:04:40 Mr. Keats nurses him alone.
00:04:42 Mr. Keats nurses him alone.
00:04:44 -Is there no other family member?
00:04:49 There is only a much younger sister
00:05:04 Come in.
00:05:10 You like jokes, Mr. Keats?
00:05:13 I like jokes.
00:05:15 Mr. Brown, I warn you,
00:05:18 He complains I care for nothing but fashion.
00:05:27 Would you like biscuits?
00:05:31 You've come to spy.
00:05:34 Spy?
00:05:37 How will you describe me? My character?
00:05:42 I am not the least interested
00:05:49 My jacket, then? Or my pantaloons?
00:05:57 You need a new jacket,
00:06:00 Is that all?
00:06:02 It should be of velvet, blue velvet.
00:06:10 Tell me, Miss Brawne,
00:06:14 Well, all I wear,
00:06:18 I'm often told
00:06:20 I originated the pleats on my dress,
00:06:29 Has she annoyed you sufficiently?
00:06:34 Men's room, out.
00:06:36 Poets got to do a bit of writing.
00:06:38 My stitching has more merit and admirers
00:06:45 Goodbye, minxstress.
00:06:46 And I can make money from it.
00:07:21 Yes?
00:07:22 Have you got John Keats' poem book...
00:07:27 -Endymion?
00:07:29 Yes, I've not heard much good about it.
00:07:32 I've not sold one and took 20.
00:07:37 My sister has met the author,
00:07:41 to see if he is an idiot or not.
00:08:08 Unwrap it.
00:08:31 Read it.
00:08:35 ''A thing of beauty is a joy for ever
00:08:40 ''Pass into nothingness, but still will keep
00:08:45 ''Full of sweet dreams, and health
00:08:49 -Stop.
00:08:59 ''Yes, in spite of all
00:09:03 ''Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
00:09:43 I'd love to speak with Mr. Keats.
00:10:03 ''A thing of beauty is a joy forever
00:10:08 ''Pass into nothingness''
00:10:10 You've read Endymion.
00:10:14 I wanted to adore it.
00:10:17 -But you hated it?
00:10:23 Are you frightened to speak truthfully?
00:10:26 -Never.
00:10:29 No. I'm not clever with poetry.
00:10:34 Well, neither, it seems, am I.
00:10:38 -Still I have some hope for myself.
00:10:44 -But...
00:10:49 One doesn't necessarily create the other.
00:10:52 Would practice help?
00:10:55 It might.
00:11:02 This is the first frock
00:11:05 to have a triple-pleated mushroom collar.
00:11:09 Isn't that an identical one behind you?
00:11:26 My card's completely full.
00:11:29 But you don't dance, Mr. Keats.
00:11:34 I don't feel like dancing.
00:11:37 Is your brother still ill?
00:11:40 He's no better.
00:11:43 My father was ill
00:11:47 He died when I was still very young.
00:11:51 Excuse me.
00:11:52 Miss Brawne, may I?
00:12:03 Mama!
00:12:08 Fanny has cut my ribbon,
00:12:14 What are you doing, Fanny?
00:12:16 Trying to bring some comfort
00:12:18 What dying man?
00:12:21 I cannot offer poor Mr. Keats' brother
00:12:43 It's me. Miss Brawne.
00:12:46 I have something to deliver to Mr. Keats.
00:12:51 Leave it at the door.
00:12:53 -Is he not there?
00:12:57 I have something for your brother, Mr. Keats.
00:13:01 Invite her in. Brown!
00:13:14 You disgusting ape.
00:13:16 Be careful as you enter the ape's cage.
00:13:22 Sit next to me, Miss Brawne.
00:13:26 My prospects in the world feel very faint.
00:13:31 This room is so poorly cared for.
00:13:37 Please try one.
00:13:39 I'm anxious they'll cause him to choke.
00:13:46 No! Try another and I swear I shall bite you.
00:13:50 Take care. She has sharp teeth.
00:13:53 She has sunk her fangs into my poor poem
00:13:57 I am very sorry I couldn't love
00:14:02 Perhaps I did not say,
00:14:03 but I thought the beginning of your poem
00:14:10 But don't leave us. You can see for yourself,
00:14:14 All we do is lie about the room all day,
00:14:18 Please, tell me what I should do.
00:14:22 Miss Brawne,
00:14:34 Well, I gave him the biscuits.
00:14:39 Mr. Brown kept...
00:14:42 If we've finished tiffing,
00:14:46 It might cheer him.
00:14:48 We'll have to ask Mama.
00:14:49 -No, we don't, Toots.
00:14:52 Isn't that so, Samuel?
00:14:54 We have to stick together.
00:14:56 I'm going. You'll have to come with me.
00:15:04 Would you like to go by the pond
00:15:07 I've explored all these paths, which are more
00:15:13 My eyelashes?
00:15:20 You know, it amazes me
00:15:27 I've never heard him say one thing of wit.
00:15:31 -You favor wit?
00:15:35 -You like the fashionables?
00:15:42 Men who say things that make you start
00:15:45 Things that are amusing.
00:15:50 I know these dandies.
00:15:51 They have a mannerism in their very eating
00:15:59 You are making an attack on me?
00:16:02 No, I am defending
00:16:06 By attacking myself.
00:16:13 Forgive me.
00:16:16 I've been too long at my brother's sickbed.
00:16:20 Can we not still appreciate clever humor?
00:16:37 Thank God! He's been calling out for you.
00:16:41 Come in.
00:16:44 John.
00:16:46 -I didn't... I didn't...
00:16:48 -What?
00:16:50 -I don't know. I was having this dream.
00:16:55 -I'm here.
00:16:57 -I just... I was worried.
00:17:01 It's all right. I'm here.
00:17:03 It's so hot in this bed.
00:17:07 I was so scared for a while.
00:17:09 -Calm down.
00:17:11 I want to go. I want to leave. It smells.
00:17:14 Or I'II cut your hair in the night.
00:17:27 -Good evening, John.
00:17:28 Good evening.
00:17:30 Well, Keats,
00:17:32 Of course not. It's in my waistcoat pocket.
00:17:34 -Hello, Mr. Keats.
00:17:36 How's Tom?
00:17:38 Gentlemen of the orchestra,
00:17:40 Ladies, straight ahead, please. Thank you.
00:17:42 Hurry on, gentlemen.
00:17:43 Is he showing any signs of improvement?
00:17:45 Don't ask me of Tom, Minx.
00:17:48 The only good I can do
00:17:51 Hurry on, gentlemen.
00:17:55 Shall we open the claret?
00:18:05 Someone submitted anonymously
00:18:09 composed on the subject of whether
00:18:14 -Come on.
00:18:15 Right.
00:18:19 That's my sword, you brute.
00:18:23 Love the 10th muse?
00:18:24 It's full of the most perfect allusions
00:18:27 I thought at first it might be one of yours.
00:18:30 We were just telling Mrs. Brawne
00:18:35 Was it so very bad?
00:18:38 ''No man could have profaned and vulgarized
00:18:43 ''every association in the manner which has
00:18:49 Did they not admire the opening?
00:18:55 -Do you Like poetry, Miss Brawne?
00:18:59 Poems are a strain to work out.
00:19:02 John, we are talking, or are about to talk,
00:19:04 of your defense
00:19:07 Yes.
00:19:11 ''I have clung
00:19:15 ''Or felt but a great dream! O I have been
00:19:18 ''Presumptuous against Love
00:19:21 ''Against all elements, against the tie
00:19:25 The rhythm is beautiful and unique.
00:19:28 There are rhymes, but not on the beat.
00:19:30 And the repetitions set you up to fly.
00:19:34 ''I have clung
00:19:37 And here you come out
00:19:40 It's beautiful.
00:19:41 Well, there are immaturities,
00:19:43 and that is what they didn't say.
00:19:45 It was said. You said it, Brother.
00:19:48 Thank you.
00:19:49 Very bravely.
00:19:54 Ladies, the Hampstead Heathens
00:19:57 -Reynolds?
00:19:59 No. I think not. You're very much needed.
00:21:27 Mr. Keats is dead.
00:21:37 Mr. Keats is dead. So young.
00:21:49 Is it Tom?
00:22:32 I woke with the strange sensation
00:22:38 I opened my eyes, and there was John.
00:22:41 I knew immediately what had happened,
00:22:44 ''Tom died at 8:00, quietly and without pain.''
00:22:56 Of course, he can't go on living there,
00:22:58 so I have invited Mr. Keats
00:23:03 Well, we do have a Long schedule of visits.
00:23:06 I don't want to interfere with your city plans,
00:23:08 but you are most welcome
00:23:10 -Minx? Are you unwell?
00:23:12 No, no, no, not at all.
00:23:14 -I've never seen you so quiet.
00:23:16 We do have some city business.
00:23:25 She sewed it all night Long.
00:23:35 It's a pillow slip.
00:23:40 Then I will rest Tom's head upon it.
00:23:51 Keats, the Reynolds are expecting us.
00:23:55 I'II catch you up. Thank you.
00:24:00 Invite me again, alone.
00:24:03 Come for Christmas.
00:24:12 Yes, please do join us, Mr. Keats, please.
00:24:16 But Marianne Reynolds invited us
00:24:20 You were there when she said it.
00:24:23 I am sorry to spoil things.
00:24:24 Not at all. Wherever Mr. Keats is happy,
00:24:27 -Thank you, Mrs. Brawne.
00:24:30 Perhaps Mr. Brown wants
00:24:35 I am merely remembering to Mr. Keats
00:24:39 Miss Brawne, I thought we were conversing.
00:25:00 ''Dear Mrs. Brawne.
00:25:03 ''I have not the health
00:25:06 ''but with a family such as your own.
00:25:23 Thank you.
00:25:47 I was wondering this morning
00:25:53 Pardon?
00:25:54 You see, I believe you are.
00:25:57 We rented Mr. Brown's half of the house
00:25:59 while you were journeying in Scotland.
00:26:01 Which room do you sleep in?
00:26:04 The one overlooking the back garden.
00:26:06 That was my bed.
00:26:11 For proof, pull it from the wall
00:26:13 and by the pillow, you will find a figure
00:26:16 Is the figure you?
00:26:19 It's a fairy princess.
00:26:23 -Should I be feeding her?
00:26:31 Would you teach me poetry?
00:26:36 I'd... I'd Like to understand it.
00:26:41 I don't know how to begin.
00:26:43 And it's three to the right.
00:26:45 Two, three. Three to the left.
00:26:47 Two, three.
00:26:57 And down. And keep it going.
00:27:01 So that's the English drawing room.
00:27:05 And this is something
00:27:13 They kick,
00:27:19 and they jump,
00:27:23 and they twirl it,
00:27:26 and they sweat it,
00:27:37 What about a poem?
00:27:39 -Yes. Please, Mr. Keats.
00:27:49 ''When I have fears that I may cease to be
00:27:54 ''Before my pen has glean'd
00:28:00 ''Before high-piled books, in charact'ry
00:28:04 ''Hold Like rich garners the full-ripen'd grain
00:28:10 ''When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face
00:28:15 ''Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance''
00:28:28 -I do apologize. I've gone blank.
00:28:32 Should you Like some sweet?
00:28:33 Shall we have coffee and sweet?
00:29:20 Come through to our side.
00:29:42 I've come for my poetry class.
00:29:45 Your poetry class?
00:29:49 Poetry classes!
00:29:58 I hope I don't disturb.
00:30:01 Take a seat.
00:30:05 Have a look at that.
00:30:09 A poet is not at all poetical.
00:30:13 He is the most un-poetical thing
00:30:18 He has no identity.
00:30:20 He is continually filling some other body,
00:30:25 I cannot restrain my credibility longer.
00:30:29 Miss Brawne,
00:30:34 -It's really me.
00:30:37 Charles, I have a pupil.
00:30:40 -Desist or depart.
00:30:58 My modest hope is that the cost
00:31:02 The cost of the lesson is that Mr. Keats
00:31:07 You don't mean to read the poems?
00:31:09 Until I know all the poets and poems
00:31:11 since I've nothing to do,
00:31:14 I bow to your ambition.
00:31:25 Now he's gone, I shall find it easier to talk.
00:31:41 Can you say something
00:31:45 Poetic craft is a carcass, a sham.
00:31:52 If poetry does not come as naturally
00:31:55 then it had better not come at all.
00:32:04 I am mistaken.
00:32:09 I am not sure I can teach you.
00:32:11 Was I too rude? I... I can apologize.
00:32:14 I'm not sure I have
00:32:23 I'm suspicious of my feelings.
00:32:27 Do you not Like me?
00:32:30 I'm attracted to you without knowing why.
00:32:38 AII women confuse me, even my mother.
00:32:46 I yearn to be ruined by shrews
00:32:49 and in reality,
00:32:55 I'm annoyed by my sister
00:33:01 I still don't know how to work out a poem.
00:33:04 A poem needs understanding
00:33:09 The point of diving in a lake
00:33:14 is not immediately to swim to the shore
00:33:17 but to be in the Lake,
00:33:25 You do not work the lake out.
00:33:28 It is an experience beyond thought.
00:33:33 Poetry soothes and emboldens
00:33:39 I Love mystery.
00:33:44 I found your fairy princess
00:33:48 And you could make her out?
00:33:50 She wears a butterfly frock.
00:33:55 Shall we continue?
00:34:11 Mr. Keats is very brilliant.
00:34:18 I'm not sure he really likes me.
00:34:21 He prefers Toots and Samuel, even our cat,
00:34:30 Mr. Keats knows he cannot Like you.
00:34:34 He has no Living and no income.
00:34:56 Mr. Keats isn't here.
00:35:00 He said to tell you he had a sore throat
00:35:04 Samuel, hello.
00:35:06 You don't believe me. Come in.
00:35:09 Come in.
00:35:13 There, no Keats.
00:35:20 Tell us, what Chaucer did you read?
00:35:23 AII of it.
00:35:25 Also, Mr. Spenser,
00:35:32 That's a lot to read in one week.
00:35:35 What did you think of The Odyssey?
00:35:37 Thank you.
00:35:40 I am yet partway through it,
00:35:45 Have you?
00:35:53 ''Out went the taper as she hurried in
00:35:58 ''Its little smoke, in pallid moonshine, died
00:36:03 ''She clos'd the door, she panted, all akin
00:36:07 ''To spirits of the air, and visions wide''
00:36:11 And... And what, Miss Brawne,
00:36:16 -I... I liked it.
00:36:21 You didn't find Milton's rhymes
00:36:25 No.
00:36:28 -Did you not?
00:36:39 Is it the material of her dress that makes
00:36:46 Yes, they are golden.
00:36:48 -Amber almost.
00:36:52 What color are yours, Mr. Brown?
00:36:53 Mine?
00:37:02 -Suitcase brown.
00:37:10 Did you see Mr. Brown? He was amazed.
00:37:15 Well, all those authors in just one week
00:37:18 I know.
00:37:20 But he sees I'm serious.
00:37:36 Fanny, it's a letter.
00:37:40 I think it's a valentine.
00:38:05 ''Darling Valentine, I am not sure
00:38:09 ''for your amber enchantress eyes
00:38:19 ''Yours, the Suitcase.''
00:38:42 Fanny,
00:38:46 Mr. Keats is behaving very oddly.
00:38:51 Should I invite him inside?
00:39:05 -Mr. Brown sent you a Valentine?
00:39:11 Keats! Keats! John, wait.
00:39:27 -John.
00:39:29 with you encouraging me
00:39:32 -John, easy.
00:39:33 you write Miss Brawne a valentine card.
00:39:35 -John.
00:39:37 -Easy.
00:39:39 You have the income to marry,
00:39:41 Did you accept him, Miss Brawne?
00:39:42 John, I sent that valentine...
00:39:47 It was only a jest.
00:39:48 For whom? I'm not laughing.
00:39:52 John, I wrote the valentine to amuse Fanny,
00:39:56 John, she's what?
00:39:58 -and, what, a military expert the next?
00:40:02 It is a game. It is a game to her.
00:40:06 There is a holiness to the heart's affections.
00:40:23 Believe me, it's not pride!
00:40:42 You're in Love with Mr. Brown?
00:40:55 Why don't you speak?
00:40:59 She can't speak because she only knows
00:41:06 Isn't that right?
00:41:11 Yes, and read all Milton,
00:41:18 because there are none!
00:41:20 John, there are one or two of her kind
00:41:22 in every fashionable drawing room
00:41:26 gasping over skirt lengths.
00:41:32 I'm sorry.
00:41:35 No! I want to dance and flirt,
00:41:38 talk of flounces and ribbons
00:41:56 What if the dwarf were to die in Act 2?
00:42:01 And then we could introduce
00:42:03 The princess.
00:42:05 Perhaps Act 3 could begin with a tempest.
00:42:11 What else do you think?
00:42:34 We're going to live next door.
00:42:36 The Dilkes are moving to Westminster,
00:42:40 So we'll be in the same house.
00:42:44 It's a great economy for Mama.
00:42:50 But only if you Like.
00:42:51 Have we broken for the day, Keats?
00:42:57 Keats!
00:43:03 -Throw the rope up.
00:43:07 There should be another one of them.
00:43:14 But if the princess has already abandoned
00:43:17 I mean, cannot we keep his Love speech?
00:43:21 We have to change it.
00:43:24 -We could give the Love speech to...
00:43:31 Sorry, right in the face.
00:43:37 Brown? Brown!
00:43:40 Oh, no!
00:43:43 -What was that, Toots?
00:43:57 If Mr. Keats and myself
00:44:02 lounging on a sofa or staring into a wall,
00:44:07 Doing nothing is the musing of the poet.
00:44:12 Are these musings what we common people
00:44:16 Thoughts, yes, but of a weightier nature.
00:44:21 Sinking thoughts?
00:44:23 Not really, Miss Brawne. Musing,
00:44:29 Mr. Brown?
00:44:30 As in amusing?
00:44:34 Mr. Brown, our thoughts are all very simple,
00:44:37 so you never need worry
00:44:40 And we should be happy
00:45:05 Can I choose which bed?
00:45:41 Mr. Keats.
00:46:32 They're sniffing all the flowers in the garden
00:46:37 Mr. Keats is being a bee.
00:46:45 Thank you.
00:46:50 Fanny!
00:46:52 Come in.
00:46:53 I need your help.
00:47:19 Lie to me.
00:47:23 I did not sit down a single tune.
00:47:27 You can see the truth in my slippers,
00:47:31 I don't know how I could have prevented it.
00:47:32 I don't want to sit and wait under the trees
00:47:35 -I want to go and play on the swing.
00:47:40 -Lovely.
00:47:44 No. A bit Lower.
00:48:10 I had such a dream last night.
00:48:14 I was floating above the trees
00:48:17 with my lips connected
00:48:22 for what seemed Like an age.
00:48:26 Flowery treetops sprang up beneath us,
00:48:28 and we rested on them
00:48:40 Who was the figure?
00:48:56 I must have had my eyes closed,
00:49:03 And yet, you remember the treetops.
00:49:06 Not so well as I remember the Lips.
00:49:12 Whose lips? Were they my lips?
00:49:58 Fanny?
00:50:12 Fanny?
00:50:20 Fanny?
00:50:25 Fanny!
00:51:33 Mr. Brown bet I couldn't find
00:51:36 There is no nest and no bet.
00:51:43 That one over there.
00:51:45 You couldn’t have seen it in a tree.
00:51:47 I know what I saw. It was a nightingale.
00:52:11 ''Soon, trembling in her soft and chilly nest
00:52:15 ''In sort of wakeful swoon, perplexed she lay''
00:52:20 See, here, there are tears.
00:52:27 You're so far ahead of me and above me.
00:52:35 Brown, I'm amazed.
00:52:40 Your writing is the finest thing in my life.
00:52:56 You wrote this, Little hand, did you do it?
00:53:09 As one who truly loves you,
00:53:11 I must warn you kindly
00:53:14 If you are going to speak of Miss Brawne,
00:53:19 For one or two of your ''slippery blisses,''
00:53:23 You will be slaving at medicine
00:53:27 To keep Mrs. Keats in French ribbon.
00:53:33 I cherish your talent. I truly do.
00:53:36 Then allow me my happiness,
00:54:08 ''My heart aches,
00:54:12 ''My sense, as though of hemlock
00:54:17 ''Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
00:54:19 ''One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk
00:54:25 '''Tis not through envy of thy happy lot
00:54:31 ''That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees
00:54:34 ''In some melodious plot
00:54:39 ''Singest of summer in full-throated ease
00:54:55 ''Darkling I listen,
00:55:00 ''and, for many a time
00:55:04 ''I have been half in Love with easeful Death
00:55:13 ''CaII'd him soft names
00:55:17 ''...rhyme...''
00:55:19 ''To take into the air my quiet breath''
00:55:23 ''...breath...''
00:55:28 ''To cease upon the midnight with no pain
00:55:34 ''While thou art pouring forth
00:55:39 ''In such an ecstasy!''
00:55:46 What?
00:55:49 Have you told Miss Brawne
00:55:57 Not as yet.
00:56:03 Mr. Brown is doing his summer rental,
00:56:10 We're meeting up on the Isle of Wight
00:56:31 Mrs. Brawne, may I speak to Fanny, please?
00:56:33 No, I will not speak to him.
00:56:36 Fanny, I was going to tell you.
00:56:47 Fanny, I have no money.
00:56:51 In fact, I am in debt.
00:56:55 I must earn. I must write and make a Living.
00:57:01 If I fail, though I hate to think on it,
00:57:03 then I must make way so another may marry
00:57:07 No! I will not be adored ever again
00:57:17 I hate you!
00:57:42 Anything?
00:57:43 No. Nothing.
00:57:51 Nothing.
00:57:58 Fanny, will you check my stitch?
00:58:02 God.
00:58:03 No, Toots. I don't care a damn for stitches!
00:58:29 -No letter?
00:58:39 Am I in Love?
00:58:44 Is this Love?
00:58:51 I shall never tease about it again.
00:58:58 So sore I believe one could die of it.
00:59:37 ''My dearest lady,
00:59:41 ''I am now at a very pleasant cottage window
00:59:43 ''looking onto a beautiful hilly country,
00:59:49 ''The morning is very fine.
00:59:51 ''I do not know how elastic
00:59:55 ''what pleasure I might have in living here
00:59:57 ''if the remembrance of you
01:00:02 ''Ask yourself, my love, whether you are
01:00:07 ''so destroyed my freedom.
01:00:11 ''For myself, I know not how to express
01:00:17 ''I want a brighter word than bright,
01:00:25 ''I almost wish we were butterflies
01:00:32 ''Three such days with you
01:00:34 ''than 50 common years could ever contain. ''
01:00:42 I Love you.
01:00:46 I Love you, Toots.
01:00:51 ''Will you confess this in a letter
01:00:53 ''you must write immediately
01:00:58 ''make it rich as a draft of poppies
01:01:02 ''write the softest words and kiss them
01:01:05 ''that I may at least touch my lips
01:01:12 ''My dear Mr. Keats, thank you for your letter.
01:01:17 ''Lately I have felt so nervous and ill
01:01:22 ''Having received your letter, I am up again,
01:01:27 ''I've begun a butterfly farm
01:01:31 ''Sammy and Toots are catching them for me.
01:01:34 ''Samuel has made a science of it
01:01:36 ''and is collecting both caterpillars
01:01:39 ''so we may have them fluttering about us
01:01:49 ''I have two luxuries
01:01:53 ''your loveliness and the hour of my death.
01:01:56 ''O that I could have possession of them
01:02:01 ''I never knew before what such a love
01:02:05 ''I did not believe in it.
01:02:07 ''But if you will fully love me,
01:02:10 ''it will not be more
01:02:12 -''and bedewed with pleasures. ''
01:02:18 ''Bedewed with pleasures.''
01:02:46 -There's no air.
01:02:49 We're going to lose them.
01:02:51 Listen, ''I Love you more in that I believe
01:02:57 ''I have met with women whom I really think
01:03:02 ''to be given away by a novel.''
01:03:06 Mama, don't be cross.
01:03:16 When I don't hear from him,
01:03:19 as if the air is sucked out from my lungs
01:03:23 and I am Left desolate,
01:03:26 I know our world is real.
01:03:34 Watch the butterfly.
01:03:37 Well, move it.
01:03:53 -Fanny wants a knife.
01:03:57 To kill herself.
01:04:03 It's all over.
01:04:06 I have such a short letter after all this time.
01:04:11 No, Topper!
01:04:18 Saying he was in London, in London,
01:04:22 and couldn’t bring himself to visit
01:04:26 He's made no fortune and is ashamed of it.
01:04:30 If only he knew how Little I, even you,
01:04:51 You missed that one.
01:04:54 -Hello.
01:05:08 Mama asked me to welcome you home
01:05:13 our new maid who may also do for you.
01:05:16 Please, sir, call me Abigail or Abby.
01:05:19 Very well. Be sure you do not enter
01:05:22 Yes, sir.
01:05:33 Mr. Keats is not coming back.
01:05:39 Please tell Mr. Keats that we Brawnes
01:05:55 Mr. Brown has said that
01:05:59 I said to him, ''Sure, what would I read?''
01:06:02 And he said, ''Abigail, even the Bible
01:06:08 And that in the Songs of Solomon,
01:06:13 they'd make even a churchman blush.
01:06:16 And he said that when I get down
01:06:20 I'II see he tells not one word of a lie.
01:06:39 Hello, Toots.
01:06:55 Hello, Mr. Keats.
01:06:58 Hello, Miss Brawne.
01:07:06 Mother? We found it.
01:07:27 What do you need for London?
01:08:02 Your vest has no lining.
01:08:10 And your coat
01:08:19 has a small hole.
01:08:22 I could mend it so you wouldn’t see it.
01:08:28 ''My sweet girl,
01:08:33 ''I was in a complete fascination all day.
01:08:36 ''I feel myself at your mercy.
01:08:39 ''Write me ever so few lines and tell me
01:08:41 ''you will never forever be less kind to me
01:08:45 ''You dazzled me.
01:08:47 ''There is nothing in the world
01:08:52 ''You have absorbed me.
01:08:55 ''I have a sensation at the present moment
01:09:16 Fanny, Mrs. Dilke is telling me that
01:09:22 Mr. Keats is proposing
01:09:25 and she wants to know
01:09:28 Of course you don't.
01:09:31 Mr. Brown is Mr. Keats' best friend.
01:09:36 Fanny, Mr. Dilke and I are worried
01:09:40 that such close connection
01:09:44 No.
01:09:47 Mr. Keats can't afford to marry.
01:09:51 His situation is really quite hopeless,
01:09:54 and if he is next door,
01:09:57 How will you go to dances?
01:10:01 But you are engaged?
01:10:03 It's his mother's ring.
01:10:05 You were not to wear it.
01:10:07 I wear it on the finger next door.
01:10:09 Do not even discuss it.
01:10:10 You taught me to Love. You never said
01:10:17 Attachment is such a difficult thing to undo.
01:12:06 ''Pillowed upon
01:12:12 ''To feel forever its soft swell and fall
01:12:17 ''Awake forever in a sweet unrest
01:12:23 ''Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath''
01:12:33 That's new.
01:12:38 From which poem?
01:12:41 Yours.
01:12:53 ''Bright star,
01:12:57 ''would I were steadfast as thou art
01:13:03 ''Not in Ione splendor hung aloft the night''
01:13:13 Why do you say ''not''?
01:13:16 ''Not in Ione splendor''?
01:13:20 You fear I am not steadfast because
01:13:28 Don't tease, Fanny.
01:13:32 Why are you Laughing?
01:13:37 I shall tell her I am unwell.
01:13:42 No, go.
01:13:46 Go.
01:13:50 Go.
01:13:53 Good Irish Abigail,
01:13:56 who never did fail to make a scone
01:14:07 Would you Like some jam with that, sir?
01:14:09 Please.
01:14:16 Delicious.
01:14:25 Fanny! Come in. It's turned cold.
01:14:29 Mr. Keats has gone to London with no coat.
01:15:08 John, have you had wine?
01:15:11 I was severely chilled.
01:15:16 I was on the outside of the coach,
01:15:23 but now I don't feel it.
01:15:25 Abigail!
01:15:28 Abigail! Get up, dress yourself.
01:15:36 Abigail, bring the water.
01:15:39 I need a basin and a towel.
01:15:42 And glasses, I need glasses.
01:15:44 -Let me help. I can...
01:16:14 Keats has already asked to see Miss Brawne,
01:16:19 but I've managed him
01:16:23 But I have not.
01:16:24 I am speaking of keeping Mr. Keats calm.
01:16:27 This is a deception I will not join.
01:16:30 No, no, it is not a deception.
01:16:33 I am simply determined
01:16:38 You would have it that
01:16:40 -Fanny!
01:16:43 Apparently, there is nothing I can do to
01:16:48 but Keats is in my care
01:16:51 or they will not happen at all.
01:16:53 Please, we Brawnes will do whatever we can
01:17:14 I was wondering where you were.
01:17:17 I have been waiting
01:17:24 Last night there was a...
01:17:32 There was a great rush of blood,
01:17:36 such that I thought that I would suffocate.
01:17:42 And I said to Mr. Brown,
01:17:49 My thoughts were of you.
01:18:21 ''My sweet creature, when I send this round,
01:18:27 ''watching to see you show yourself
01:18:34 ''When I look back upon the ecstasies
01:18:38 ''and the miseries in their turn,
01:18:40 ''I wonder the more at the beauty
01:18:46 ''How horrid was the chance of slipping
01:18:52 ''The difference is amazing, love. ''
01:19:00 -Go on! Go on, now!
01:19:04 I get anxious if I don't see her.
01:19:14 Why not bed her?
01:19:16 She'd do whatever you wished.
01:19:18 It might relieve your condition.
01:19:33 ''Do not take the trouble of writing much.
01:19:35 ''Merely send me my good night
01:20:26 ''Let me no longer detain you
01:20:29 ''There may be no end
01:20:34 ''Perhaps you had better not come
01:20:37 ''You know our situation. I am recommended
01:20:44 ''I wish I had even a little hope.
01:20:48 ''I cannot say forget me,
01:20:51 ''but I would mention that
01:21:40 John, why do you say ''impossibilities''?
01:21:45 I have coughed blood again.
01:21:55 I fear the disease has the upper hand
01:22:01 and I will not recover.
01:22:03 I can't Leave you.
01:22:08 I have such clear hope
01:22:13 John, they are more beautiful than
01:22:16 Mr. Wordsworth, even Lord Byron.
01:22:24 ''O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms
01:22:28 ''Alone and palely loitering?
01:22:34 ''The sedge has wither'd from the Lake
01:22:43 ''I met a lady in the meads
01:22:48 ''Full beautiful, a faery's child
01:22:52 ''Her hair was Long, her foot was light
01:22:58 ''And her eyes were wild
01:23:03 ''I set her on my pacing steed
01:23:07 ''And nothing else saw all day Long
01:23:12 ''For sidelong would she bend and sing
01:23:18 ''She found me roots of relish sweet
01:23:22 ''And honey wild, and manna dew
01:23:28 ''And sure in language strange she said
01:23:34 ''She took me to her elfin grot''
01:23:36 ''And there she wept, and sigh'd full sore''
01:23:41 ''And there I shut her wild wild eyes
01:23:48 ''And there she lulled me asleep
01:23:52 ''And there I dream'd, ah! woe betide!
01:23:57 ''The latest dream I ever dream'd
01:24:03 ''On the cold hill side''
01:24:14 Abigail?
01:24:20 Here it is.
01:24:24 but I'II not wait.
01:24:28 He is the most cruel,
01:24:32 dead-hearted man in this entire world.
01:24:37 Oh, my God!
01:24:40 Oh, my God, I wish I were dead.
01:24:45 I am boiling with fury.
01:24:47 John, you must not convulse again.
01:24:51 Abigail is with child,
01:24:56 she would not say.
01:24:58 We, Brown, must find out who it is,
01:25:02 then butcher or baker,
01:25:08 -Will you call her?
01:25:14 She has me believe I'm the father.
01:25:19 My God, I had no notion of a Love affair.
01:25:27 There was none,
01:25:33 With what ease you help yourself.
01:25:36 I have agreed to pay for the child.
01:25:40 And the worst thing is
01:25:46 I have to start my summer rental early.
01:25:50 And I feel wretched turning you out
01:25:56 but, John, I can't do anything else.
01:25:59 I'm overloaded with debt.
01:26:00 Don't concern yourself.
01:26:03 -I shall manage.
01:26:17 In what stumbling ways a new soul is begun.
01:26:21 I'd very much value your opinion, Mr. Keats,
01:26:23 on a new painting of mine,
01:26:27 If you are suggesting he won't survive
01:26:30 then we must do something.
01:26:31 Gentlemen, I think we should hear
01:26:34 for Keats' health.
01:26:35 Well, a move to a gentler climate
01:26:39 I would recommend Italy.
01:26:41 -Rome?
01:26:43 -Does he want to go to Rome?
01:26:47 He won't Live through another winter
01:26:55 How do you feel about Italy, John?
01:26:56 I do think there is an issue of finance.
01:27:03 Could we not, between us,
01:27:07 It seems possible.
01:27:12 Of course, he'll need a traveling companion.
01:27:16 Absolutely, absolutely.
01:27:17 Someone must go.
01:27:21 -Is that a ''no''?
01:27:35 I can help find a room for the summer,
01:27:41 Sammy, walk behind.
01:27:47 I want to go to Italy with you.
01:27:50 We can marry, and I'II go with you.
01:27:53 My friends talk of going to Italy,
01:27:56 Spare a penny, sir?
01:27:58 I can barely afford
01:28:02 Farewell me here.
01:28:03 Why?
01:28:07 We don't do linen.
01:28:15 AII right, I'm coming!
01:28:37 Mr. Hunt can't have meant this room.
01:28:45 I told you not to come.
01:28:50 Go now.
01:28:55 Go.
01:29:01 Please start.
01:29:05 -Please start.
01:29:07 Thank you.
01:29:09 She's not eating.
01:29:25 Are you all right?
01:29:31 How Long has Mr. Keats been away?
01:29:33 Five weeks.
01:29:36 Perhaps it is for the best.
01:29:40 Whose best?
01:29:43 I thought it might be a relief to be separated
01:29:49 You all wish I would give up, but I can't.
01:29:55 Even if I wanted to, I cannot.
01:30:42 John!
01:30:44 Keep away from me if you do not Love me,
01:30:47 if you have not a crystal conscience
01:30:51 Oh, my Love.
01:31:00 I thought my heart was breaking.
01:31:04 Mama! Mama!
01:31:10 Mr. Keats?
01:31:12 Toots, the door.
01:31:20 Take care.
01:31:26 John. John?
01:31:34 Thank you.
01:31:38 -Was there any blood?
01:31:43 Is he staying here?
01:31:46 Yes, yes. Tonight.
01:31:50 Well, I need to examine the patient.
01:32:05 May he stay tomorrow?
01:32:09 But you are not even officiaIIy engaged.
01:32:12 Can't we be?
01:32:16 There is no end to this.
01:32:18 Next, you’ll want to marry
01:32:22 I should never have moved into this house.
01:32:25 I have let this happen.
01:32:26 Just until Italy.
01:32:30 You are already the source
01:32:33 Well then, Let us be engaged.
01:33:17 Toots.
01:33:29 Have you been eating rosebuds again?
01:33:33 So where do your cheeks get their blush?
01:33:42 I confirmed your ship,
01:33:47 When does she Leave?
01:33:48 -In 10 days.
01:33:50 Autumn is coming.
01:33:51 I'm afraid if you delay
01:33:55 Then there's no putting it off.
01:33:59 I must march against the battery.
01:34:01 Allow me to pour you another, Mr. Severn.
01:34:03 Really? Well, perhaps I might just tip it back.
01:34:05 -Is his passage fully paid for?
01:34:07 Everything's taken care of.
01:34:12 What if something should happen
01:34:15 or even to you, in a foreign country?
01:34:21 How would you survive?
01:34:24 It shouldn’t be Severn. He barely knows him.
01:34:28 Where is that fool Mr. Brown
01:34:30 And why hasn't he written?
01:34:34 I found a goose for Mr. Keats' Last dinner.
01:34:41 Don't say ''Last.''
01:34:50 ...two, three. One, two, three.
01:34:54 One, two, three. One, two, three.
01:34:57 One, two, three. One, two, three.
01:35:06 Toots?
01:35:11 Mr. Keats?
01:35:12 One, two, three...
01:35:18 -She's gone.
01:35:29 One, two, three. One, two, three.
01:35:34 Very good.
01:35:40 And don't come back.
01:35:44 Careful.
01:35:48 Are you all right?
01:35:53 Shall we sit down?
01:36:54 Mrs. Brawne, that's for you.
01:36:58 It's beautiful.
01:37:00 My dear, mad boy.
01:37:03 Is it successful?
01:37:05 There were two very positive reviews,
01:37:10 and six mainly positive and four hostile.
01:37:17 I don't know, is that successful?
01:37:19 Yes, extremely so.
01:37:22 So they're selling well?
01:37:30 Come back. Live with us.
01:37:33 Marry our Fanny.
01:37:51 I Love you.
01:38:01 We should say our goodbyes now.
01:38:20 Shall we awake
01:38:27 and find all this is a dream?
01:38:34 There must be another Life.
01:38:35 We can't be created
01:38:50 I doubt that we will see each other again
01:39:00 Then why are you leaving?
01:39:05 Why must you go?
01:39:08 Because my friends have paid my way.
01:39:12 It is a hopeless hope,
01:39:14 Say you are too ill.
01:39:18 We have woven a web, you and I,
01:39:22 attached to this world
01:39:26 but a separate world of our own invention.
01:39:29 We must cut the threads, Fanny.
01:39:32 No.
01:39:34 No.
01:39:38 I can't.
01:39:43 I never will.
01:39:54 You know I would do anything.
01:40:03 I have a conscience.
01:40:22 -Let's pretend I will return in spring.
01:40:38 We will Live in the country.
01:40:44 Close to Mama.
01:40:47 And our bedroom will Look out
01:40:52 and, beyond that, a mountain in a mist.
01:40:56 We can make a garden
01:41:03 And we will go to bed
01:41:09 And when it becomes dark,
01:41:21 And I will hold you close
01:41:27 your arms, your waist.
01:41:35 Everywhere.
01:41:48 Touch has a memory.
01:41:52 I know it.
01:42:25 Not a word.
01:43:09 Mama, Mr. Brown's baby has red hair.
01:43:13 Hello!
01:43:15 You beautiful boy.
01:43:19 Hello. Well done. Well done.
01:43:22 Hello.
01:43:24 It is so nice to meet you.
01:43:30 You've seen the baby?
01:43:34 Looks Like Abigail.
01:43:43 John's reached Naples.
01:43:46 They quarantined his ship.
01:43:49 He wrote that he made more puns
01:43:55 than he had in any year of his Life.
01:44:01 I should have Liked to have been there
01:44:04 You could have, had you gone.
01:44:17 It's not that simple,
01:44:19 with a baby and my funds reduced.
01:44:25 And then there is this issue
01:44:31 And lack of will.
01:44:41 Shall I say it aloud?
01:44:43 Will that satisfy you?
01:44:49 Shall I say it?
01:44:52 I have failed John Keats.
01:44:54 I failed John Keats.
01:44:58 I failed John Keats!
01:45:01 I failed him! I failed him!
01:45:07 I did not know until now how tightly
01:45:22 It's for you, Mama. It's from Italy.
01:45:42 It's from Mr. Keats.
01:45:45 He says, ''It looks Like a dream.''
01:47:09 Start again.
01:47:45 It's cold out.
01:47:50 How are you all?
01:47:51 We're all quite well enough,
01:47:55 Mrs. Brawne, it is as unbearable to me
01:48:02 as I know it is to you.
01:48:06 Mr. Keats has died.
01:48:10 I received an account from Severn,
01:48:14 and I've copied it for you, Miss Brawne.
01:48:20 Shall I just read it?
01:48:34 ''Friday, the 23rd of February.
01:48:39 ''At four in the afternoon, Keats called me,
01:48:43 '''Severn, Severn, lift me up for I am dying.
01:48:48 '''I shall die easy.
01:48:51 '''Don't be frightened.
01:48:57 ''At one point, a cold, heavy sweat broke out
01:49:03 '''Don't breathe on me. It comes like ice. '
01:49:09 ''Keats died imperceptibly. ''
01:49:10 No more.
01:49:38 Oh, God.
01:49:42 Oh, God. John!
01:49:51 Mama!
01:50:00 Mama!
01:50:02 I... I can't breathe.
01:50:08 Mama!
01:50:22 Mama!
01:51:31 Sammy! Samuel!
01:52:00 ''Bright star,
01:52:04 ''would I were steadfast as thou art
01:52:10 ''Not in Ione splendor hung aloft the night
01:52:16 ''And watching, with eternal lids apart
01:52:23 ''Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite
01:52:31 ''The moving waters at their priestlike task
01:52:35 ''Of pure ablution
01:52:39 ''Or gazing on the new soft fallen masque
01:52:43 ''Of snow upon the mountains and the moors
01:52:48 ''No, yet still steadfast, still unchangeable
01:52:59 ''PiIIow'd upon my fair Love’s ripening breast
01:53:05 ''To feel for ever its soft swell and fall
01:53:15 ''Awake for ever
01:53:21 ''in a sweet unrest
01:53:28 ''Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath
01:53:34 ''And so Live ever, or else swoon to death''
01:54:12 ''My heart aches,
01:54:16 ''My sense, as though of hemlock
01:54:21 ''Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
01:54:23 ''One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk
01:54:28 '''Tis not through envy of thy happy lot
01:54:35 ''That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees
01:54:38 ''In some melodious plot
01:54:39 ''Of beechen green,
01:54:42 ''Singest of summer in full-throated ease
01:54:47 ''O, for a draft of vintage that hath been
01:54:50 ''Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth
01:54:54 ''Tasting of Flora and the country green
01:54:56 ''Dance, and Provençal song,
01:55:01 ''O for a beaker full of the warm South
01:55:04 ''Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene
01:55:08 ''With beaded bubbles winking at the brim
01:55:11 ''And purple-stained mouth
01:55:14 ''That I might drink,
01:55:18 ''And with thee fade away into the forest dim
01:55:23 ''Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget
01:55:27 ''What thou among the leaves
01:55:31 ''The weariness, the fever, and the fret
01:55:34 ''Here, where men sit
01:55:38 ''Where palsy shakes a few,
01:55:42 ''Where youth grows pale, and specter-thin,
01:55:47 ''Where but to think is to be full of sorrow
01:55:49 ''And leaden-eyed despairs
01:55:52 ''Where Beauty cannot keep
01:55:56 ''Or new Love pine at them
01:56:00 ''Away! Away! For I will fly to thee
01:56:05 ''Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards
01:56:08 ''But on the viewless wings of Poesy
01:56:11 ''Though the dull brain perplexes and retards
01:56:14 ''Already with thee! Tender is the night
01:56:18 ''And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne
01:56:21 ''Cluster'd around by all her starry Fays
01:56:25 ''But here there is no light
01:56:27 ''Save what from heaven
01:56:30 ''Through verdurous glooms
01:56:35 ''I cannot see what flowers are at my feet
01:56:38 ''Nor what soft incense
01:56:42 ''But, in embalmed darkness,
01:56:45 ''Wherewith the seasonable month endows
01:56:47 ''The grass, the thicket
01:56:51 ''White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine
01:56:54 ''Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves
01:56:57 ''And mid-May's eldest child
01:57:00 ''The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine
01:57:04 ''The murmurous haunt of flies
01:57:10 ''Darkling I listen, and, for many a time
01:57:14 ''I have been half in love with easeful Death
01:57:18 ''Call'd him soft names
01:57:21 ''To take into the air my quiet breath
01:57:25 ''Now more than ever seems it rich to die
01:57:29 ''To cease upon the midnight with no pain
01:57:32 ''While thou art pouring forth
01:57:35 ''In such an ecstasy!
01:57:37 ''Still wouldst thou sing,
01:57:42 ''To thy high requiem become a sod
01:57:47 ''Thou wast not born for death,
01:57:51 ''No hungry generations tread thee down
01:57:55 ''The voice I hear this passing night
01:57:58 ''In ancient days by emperor and clown
01:58:01 ''Perhaps the self-same song
01:58:04 ''Through the sad heart of Ruth,
01:58:07 ''She stood in tears amid the alien corn
01:58:11 ''The same that oft-times hath
01:58:12 ''Charm'd magic casements,
01:58:16 ''Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn
01:58:21 ''Forlorn! The very word is like a bell
01:58:26 ''To toll me back from thee to my sole self!
01:58:30 ''Adieu! The fancy cannot cheat so well
01:58:33 ''As she is fam'd to do, deceiving elf
01:58:36 ''Adieu! Adieu! Thy plaintive anthem fades
01:58:41 ''Past the near meadows,
01:58:45 ''Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep
01:58:49 ''In the next valley-glades
01:58:52 ''Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
01:58:56 ''Fled is that music. Do I wake or sleep?''
00:00:03 ''In some melodious plot
00:00:08 ''Singest of summer in full-throated ease
00:00:24 ''Darkling I listen,
00:00:29 ''and, for many a time
00:00:33 ''I have been half in Love with easeful Death

00:00:48 ''To take into the air my quiet breath''
00:00:52 ''...breath...''
00:00:57 ''To cease upon the midnight with no pain
00:01:02 ''While thou art pouring forth
00:01:08 ''In such an ecstasy!''
00:01:15 What?
00:01:18 Have you told Miss Brawne
00:01:26 Not as yet.
00:01:32 Mr. Brown is doing his summer rental,
00:01:39 We're meeting up on the Isle of Wight
00:02:00 Mrs. Brawne, may I speak to Fanny, please?
00:02:02 No, I will not speak to him.
00:02:05 Fanny, I was going to tell you.
00:02:16 Fanny, I have no money.
00:02:20 In fact, I am in debt.
00:02:24 I must earn. I must write and make a Living.
00:02:30 If I fail, though I hate to think on it,
00:02:32 then I must make way so another may marry
00:02:36 No! I will not be adored ever again
00:02:46 I hate you!
00:03:11 Anything?
00:03:12 No. Nothing.
00:03:20 Nothing.
00:03:27 Fanny, will you check my stitch?
00:03:30 God.
00:03:32 No, Toots. I don't care a damn for stitches!
00:03:57 -No letter?
00:04:07 Am I in Love?
00:04:13 Is this Love?
00:04:19 I shall never tease about it again.
00:04:27 So sore I believe one could die of it.
00:05:06 ''My dearest lady,
00:05:10 ''I am now at a very pleasant cottage window
00:05:12 ''looking onto a beautiful hilly country,
00:05:18 ''The morning is very fine.
00:05:20 ''I do not know how elastic
00:05:24 ''what pleasure I might have in living here
00:05:26 ''if the remembrance of you
00:05:31 ''Ask yourself, my love, whether you are
00:05:36 ''so destroyed my freedom.
00:05:40 ''For myself, I know not how to express
00:05:46 ''I want a brighter word than bright,
00:05:54 ''I almost wish we were butterflies
00:06:00 ''Three such days with you
00:06:02 ''than 50 common years could ever contain. ''
00:06:11 I Love you.
00:06:15 I Love you, Toots.
00:06:20 ''Will you confess this in a letter
00:06:22 ''you must write immediately
00:06:27 ''make it rich as a draft of poppies
00:06:30 ''write the softest words and kiss them
00:06:34 ''that I may at least touch my lips
00:06:41 ''My dear Mr. Keats, thank you for your letter.
00:06:46 ''Lately I have felt so nervous and ill
00:06:51 ''Having received your letter, I am up again,
00:06:56 ''I've begun a butterfly farm
00:07:00 ''Sammy and Toots are catching them for me.
00:07:03 ''Samuel has made a science of it
00:07:05 ''and is collecting both caterpillars
00:07:07 ''so we may have them fluttering about us
00:07:18 ''I have two luxuries
00:07:21 ''your loveliness and the hour of my death.
00:07:25 ''O that I could have possession of them
00:07:30 ''I never knew before what such a love
00:07:34 ''I did not believe in it.
00:07:36 ''But if you will fully love me,
00:07:39 ''it will not be more
00:07:41 -''and bedewed with pleasures. ''
00:07:47 ''Bedewed with pleasures.''
00:08:15 -There's no air.
00:08:17 We're going to lose them.
00:08:20 Listen, ''I Love you more in that I believe
00:08:26 ''I have met with women whom I really think
00:08:31 ''to be given away by a novel.''
00:08:35 Mama, don't be cross.
00:08:45 When I don't hear from him,
00:08:48 as if the air is sucked out from my lungs
00:08:51 and I am Left desolate,
00:08:55 I know our world is real.
00:09:03 Watch the butterfly.
00:09:05 Well, move it.
00:09:22 -Fanny wants a knife.
00:09:25 To kill herself.
00:09:32 It's all over.
00:09:35 I have such a short letter after all this time.
00:09:39 No, Topper!
00:09:47 Saying he was in London, in London,
00:09:51 and couldn’t bring himself to visit
00:09:55 He's made no fortune and is ashamed of it.
00:09:58 If only he knew how Little I, even you,
00:10:20 You missed that one.
00:10:23 -Hello.
00:10:37 Mama asked me to welcome you home
00:10:41 our new maid who may also do for you.
00:10:44 Please, sir, call me Abigail or Abby.
00:10:48 Very well. Be sure you do not enter
00:10:51 Yes, sir.
00:11:01 Mr. Keats is not coming back.
00:11:08 Please tell Mr. Keats that we Brawnes
00:11:24 Mr. Brown has said that
00:11:28 I said to him, ''Sure, what would I read?''
00:11:31 And he said, ''Abigail, even the Bible
00:11:37 And that in the Songs of Solomon,
00:11:42 they'd make even a churchman blush.
00:11:45 And he said that when I get down
00:11:49 I'II see he tells not one word of a lie.
00:12:08 Hello, Toots.
00:12:24 Hello, Mr. Keats.
00:12:27 Hello, Miss Brawne.
00:12:35 Mother? We found it.
00:12:56 What do you need for London?
00:13:31 Your vest has no lining.
00:13:38 And your coat
00:13:48 has a small hole.
00:13:51 I could mend it so you wouldn’t see it.
00:13:57 ''My sweet girl,
00:14:02 ''I was in a complete fascination all day.
00:14:05 ''I feel myself at your mercy.
00:14:08 ''Write me ever so few lines and tell me
00:14:10 ''you will never forever be less kind to me
00:14:14 ''You dazzled me.
00:14:16 ''There is nothing in the world
00:14:21 ''You have absorbed me.
00:14:24 ''I have a sensation at the present moment
00:14:45 Fanny, Mrs. Dilke is telling me that
00:14:51 Mr. Keats is proposing
00:14:54 and she wants to know
00:14:56 Of course you don't.
00:15:00 Mr. Brown is Mr. Keats' best friend.
00:15:05 Fanny, Mr. Dilke and I are worried
00:15:09 that such close connection
00:15:13 No.
00:15:15 Mr. Keats can't afford to marry.
00:15:20 His situation is really quite hopeless,
00:15:23 and if he is next door,
00:15:26 How will you go to dances?
00:15:30 But you are engaged?
00:15:31 It's his mother's ring.
00:15:34 You were not to wear it.
00:15:36 I wear it on the finger next door.
00:15:38 Do not even discuss it.
00:15:39 You taught me to Love. You never said
00:15:45 Attachment is such a difficult thing to undo.
00:17:35 ''Pillowed upon
00:17:41 ''To feel forever its soft swell and fall
00:17:46 ''Awake forever in a sweet unrest
00:17:51 ''Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath''
00:18:02 That's new.
00:18:06 From which poem?
00:18:10 Yours.
00:18:22 ''Bright star,
00:18:26 ''would I were steadfast as thou art
00:18:31 ''Not in Ione splendor hung aloft the night''
00:18:41 Why do you say ''not''?
00:18:45 ''Not in Ione splendor''?
00:18:49 You fear I am not steadfast because
00:18:57 Don't tease, Fanny.
00:19:01 Why are you Laughing?
00:19:06 I shall tell her I am unwell.
00:19:11 No, go.
00:19:15 Go.
00:19:19 Go.
00:19:22 Good Irish Abigail,
00:19:24 who never did fail to make a scone
00:19:36 Would you Like some jam with that, sir?
00:19:38 Please.
00:19:45 Delicious.
00:19:54 Fanny! Come in. It's turned cold.
00:19:58 Mr. Keats has gone to London with no coat.
00:20:37 John, have you had wine?
00:20:40 I was severely chilled.
00:20:45 I was on the outside of the coach,
00:20:52 but now I don't feel it.
00:20:54 Abigail!
00:20:57 Abigail! Get up, dress yourself.
00:21:05 Abigail, bring the water.
00:21:08 I need a basin and a towel.
00:21:11 And glasses, I need glasses.
00:21:12 -Let me help. I can...
00:21:43 Keats has already asked to see Miss Brawne,
00:21:48 but I've managed him
00:21:51 But I have not.
00:21:53 I am speaking of keeping Mr. Keats calm.
00:21:56 This is a deception I will not join.
00:21:59 No, no, it is not a deception.
00:22:02 I am simply determined
00:22:07 You would have it that
00:22:09 -Fanny!
00:22:12 Apparently, there is nothing I can do to
00:22:16 but Keats is in my care
00:22:20 or they will not happen at all.
00:22:22 Please, we Brawnes will do whatever we can
00:22:43 I was wondering where you were.
00:22:46 I have been waiting
00:22:52 Last night there was a...
00:23:01 There was a great rush of blood,
00:23:05 such that I thought that I would suffocate.
00:23:11 And I said to Mr. Brown,
00:23:18 My thoughts were of you.
00:23:49 ''My sweet creature, when I send this round,
00:23:56 ''watching to see you show yourself
00:24:03 ''When I look back upon the ecstasies
00:24:07 ''and the miseries in their turn,
00:24:09 ''I wonder the more at the beauty
00:24:14 ''How horrid was the chance of slipping
00:24:20 ''The difference is amazing, love. ''
00:24:29 -Go on! Go on, now!
00:24:33 I get anxious if I don't see her.
00:24:42 Why not bed her?
00:24:45 She'd do whatever you wished.
00:24:47 It might relieve your condition.
00:25:02 ''Do not take the trouble of writing much.
00:25:04 ''Merely send me my good night
00:25:54 ''Let me no longer detain you
00:25:58 ''There may be no end
00:26:02 ''Perhaps you had better not come
00:26:06 ''You know our situation. I am recommended
00:26:13 ''I wish I had even a little hope.
00:26:17 ''I cannot say forget me,
00:26:20 ''but I would mention that
00:27:08 John, why do you say ''impossibilities''?
00:27:14 I have coughed blood again.
00:27:24 I fear the disease has the upper hand
00:27:30 and I will not recover.
00:27:32 I can't Leave you.
00:27:37 I have such clear hope
00:27:42 John, they are more beautiful than
00:27:45 Mr. Wordsworth, even Lord Byron.
00:27:53 ''O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms
00:27:57 ''Alone and palely loitering?
00:28:03 ''The sedge has wither'd from the Lake
00:28:11 ''I met a lady in the meads
00:28:17 ''Full beautiful, a faery's child
00:28:21 ''Her hair was Long, her foot was light
00:28:27 ''And her eyes were wild
00:28:31 ''I set her on my pacing steed
00:28:36 ''And nothing else saw all day Long
00:28:40 ''For sidelong would she bend and sing
00:28:47 ''She found me roots of relish sweet
00:28:51 ''And honey wild, and manna dew
00:28:56 ''And sure in language strange she said
00:29:03 ''She took me to her elfin grot''
00:29:05 ''And there she wept, and sigh'd full sore''
00:29:10 ''And there I shut her wild wild eyes
00:29:17 ''And there she lulled me asleep
00:29:21 ''And there I dream'd, ah! woe betide!
00:29:26 ''The latest dream I ever dream'd
00:29:32 ''On the cold hill side''
00:29:43 Abigail?
00:29:49 Here it is.
00:29:53 but I'II not wait.
00:29:56 He is the most cruel,
00:30:01 dead-hearted man in this entire world.
00:30:05 Oh, my God!
00:30:08 Oh, my God, I wish I were dead.
00:30:14 I am boiling with fury.
00:30:16 John, you must not convulse again.
00:30:19 Abigail is with child,
00:30:24 she would not say.
00:30:27 We, Brown, must find out who it is,
00:30:31 then butcher or baker,
00:30:37 -Will you call her?
00:30:43 She has me believe I'm the father.
00:30:47 My God, I had no notion of a Love affair.
00:30:56 There was none,
00:31:02 With what ease you help yourself.
00:31:05 I have agreed to pay for the child.
00:31:09 And the worst thing is
00:31:15 I have to start my summer rental early.
00:31:19 And I feel wretched turning you out
00:31:25 but, John, I can't do anything else.
00:31:27 I'm overloaded with debt.
00:31:29 Don't concern yourself.
00:31:32 -I shall manage.
00:31:46 In what stumbling ways a new soul is begun.
00:31:50 I'd very much value your opinion, Mr. Keats,
00:31:52 on a new painting of mine,
00:31:56 If you are suggesting he won't survive
00:31:59 then we must do something.
00:32:00 Gentlemen, I think we should hear
00:32:03 for Keats' health.
00:32:04 Well, a move to a gentler climate
00:32:08 I would recommend Italy.
00:32:09 -Rome?
00:32:12 -Does he want to go to Rome?
00:32:16 He won't Live through another winter
00:32:23 How do you feel about Italy, John?
00:32:25 I do think there is an issue of finance.
00:32:32 Could we not, between us,
00:32:36 It seems possible.
00:32:41 Of course, he'll need a traveling companion.
00:32:44 Absolutely, absolutely.
00:32:46 Someone must go.
00:32:50 -Is that a ''no''?
00:33:04 I can help find a room for the summer,
00:33:10 Sammy, walk behind.
00:33:16 I want to go to Italy with you.
00:33:19 We can marry, and I'II go with you.
00:33:22 My friends talk of going to Italy,
00:33:25 Spare a penny, sir?
00:33:27 I can barely afford
00:33:30 Farewell me here.
00:33:32 Why?
00:33:36 We don't do linen.
00:33:44 AII right, I'm coming!
00:34:05 Mr. Hunt can't have meant this room.
00:34:14 I told you not to come.
00:34:18 Go now.
00:34:24 Go.
00:34:30 Please start.
00:34:34 -Please start.
00:34:35 Thank you.
00:34:38 She's not eating.
00:34:54 Are you all right?
00:34:59 How Long has Mr. Keats been away?
00:35:02 Five weeks.
00:35:05 Perhaps it is for the best.
00:35:09 Whose best?
00:35:12 I thought it might be a relief to be separated
00:35:18 You all wish I would give up, but I can't.
00:35:23 Even if I wanted to, I cannot.
00:36:11 John!
00:36:13 Keep away from me if you do not Love me,
00:36:16 if you have not a crystal conscience
00:36:20 Oh, my Love.
00:36:29 I thought my heart was breaking.
00:36:33 Mama! Mama!
00:36:39 Mr. Keats?
00:36:40 Toots, the door.
00:36:49 Take care.
00:36:55 John. John?
00:37:03 Thank you.
00:37:07 -Was there any blood?
00:37:12 Is he staying here?
00:37:15 Yes, yes. Tonight.
00:37:19 Well, I need to examine the patient.
00:37:33 May he stay tomorrow?
00:37:38 But you are not even officiaIIy engaged.
00:37:41 Can't we be?
00:37:45 There is no end to this.
00:37:47 Next, you’ll want to marry
00:37:51 I should never have moved into this house.
00:37:53 I have let this happen.
00:37:54 Just until Italy.
00:37:59 You are already the source
00:38:02 Well then, Let us be engaged.
00:38:45 Toots.
00:38:57 Have you been eating rosebuds again?
00:39:02 So where do your cheeks get their blush?
00:39:11 I confirmed your ship,
00:39:16 When does she Leave?
00:39:17 -In 10 days.
00:39:18 Autumn is coming.
00:39:20 I'm afraid if you delay
00:39:24 Then there's no putting it off.
00:39:28 I must march against the battery.
00:39:30 Allow me to pour you another, Mr. Severn.
00:39:32 Really? Well, perhaps I might just tip it back.
00:39:34 -Is his passage fully paid for?
00:39:36 Everything's taken care of.
00:39:41 What if something should happen
00:39:43 or even to you, in a foreign country?
00:39:50 How would you survive?
00:39:53 It shouldn’t be Severn. He barely knows him.
00:39:57 Where is that fool Mr. Brown
00:39:59 And why hasn't he written?
00:40:03 I found a goose for Mr. Keats' Last dinner.
00:40:09 Don't say ''Last.''
00:40:19 ...two, three. One, two, three.
00:40:23 One, two, three. One, two, three.
00:40:26 One, two, three. One, two, three.
00:40:35 Toots?
00:40:39 Mr. Keats?
00:40:41 One, two, three...
00:40:47 -She's gone.
00:40:58 One, two, three. One, two, three.
00:41:03 Very good.
00:41:09 And don't come back.
00:41:13 Careful.
00:41:17 Are you all right?
00:41:21 Shall we sit down?
00:42:23 Mrs. Brawne, that's for you.
00:42:27 It's beautiful.
00:42:29 My dear, mad boy.
00:42:32 Is it successful?
00:42:34 There were two very positive reviews,
00:42:39 and six mainly positive and four hostile.
00:42:46 I don't know, is that successful?
00:42:47 Yes, extremely so.
00:42:51 So they're selling well?
00:42:58 Come back. Live with us.
00:43:02 Marry our Fanny.
00:43:20 I Love you.
00:43:30 We should say our goodbyes now.
00:43:49 Shall we awake
00:43:56 and find all this is a dream?
00:44:03 There must be another Life.
00:44:04 We can't be created
00:44:19 I doubt that we will see each other again
00:44:29 Then why are you leaving?
00:44:34 Why must you go?
00:44:36 Because my friends have paid my way.
00:44:40 It is a hopeless hope,
00:44:43 Say you are too ill.
00:44:46 We have woven a web, you and I,
00:44:51 attached to this world
00:44:54 but a separate world of our own invention.
00:44:58 We must cut the threads, Fanny.
00:45:01 No.
00:45:03 No.
00:45:07 I can't.
00:45:11 I never will.
00:45:23 You know I would do anything.
00:45:32 I have a conscience.
00:45:51 -Let's pretend I will return in spring.
00:46:07 We will Live in the country.
00:46:13 Close to Mama.
00:46:16 And our bedroom will Look out
00:46:21 and, beyond that, a mountain in a mist.
00:46:25 We can make a garden
00:46:32 And we will go to bed
00:46:38 And when it becomes dark,
00:46:50 And I will hold you close
00:46:56 your arms, your waist.
00:47:04 Everywhere.
00:47:17 Touch has a memory.
00:47:21 I know it.
00:47:54 Not a word.
00:48:38 Mama, Mr. Brown's baby has red hair.
00:48:41 Hello!
00:48:44 You beautiful boy.
00:48:47 Hello. Well done. Well done.
00:48:51 Hello.
00:48:53 It is so nice to meet you.
00:48:59 You've seen the baby?
00:49:03 Looks Like Abigail.
00:49:12 John's reached Naples.
00:49:15 They quarantined his ship.
00:49:18 He wrote that he made more puns
00:49:23 than he had in any year of his Life.
00:49:29 I should have Liked to have been there
00:49:33 You could have, had you gone.
00:49:46 It's not that simple,
00:49:48 with a baby and my funds reduced.
00:49:54 And then there is this issue
00:49:59 And lack of will.
00:50:10 Shall I say it aloud?
00:50:12 Will that satisfy you?
00:50:18 Shall I say it?
00:50:20 I have failed John Keats.
00:50:23 I failed John Keats.
00:50:27 I failed John Keats!
00:50:30 I failed him! I failed him!
00:50:35 I did not know until now how tightly
00:50:51 It's for you, Mama. It's from Italy.
00:51:11 It's from Mr. Keats.
00:51:14 He says, ''It looks Like a dream.''
00:52:38 Start again.
00:53:14 It's cold out.
00:53:19 How are you all?
00:53:20 We're all quite well enough,
00:53:24 Mrs. Brawne, it is as unbearable to me
00:53:30 as I know it is to you.
00:53:35 Mr. Keats has died.
00:53:39 I received an account from Severn,
00:53:43 and I've copied it for you, Miss Brawne.
00:53:49 Shall I just read it?
00:54:03 ''Friday, the 23rd of February.
00:54:08 ''At four in the afternoon, Keats called me,
00:54:12 '''Severn, Severn, lift me up for I am dying.
00:54:17 '''I shall die easy.
00:54:20 '''Don't be frightened.
00:54:25 ''At one point, a cold, heavy sweat broke out
00:54:32 '''Don't breathe on me. It comes like ice. '
00:54:38 ''Keats died imperceptibly. ''
00:54:39 No more.
00:55:07 Oh, God.
00:55:11 Oh, God. John!
00:55:19 Mama!
00:55:29 Mama!
00:55:31 I... I can't breathe.
00:55:37 Mama!
00:55:51 Mama!
00:57:00 Sammy! Samuel!
00:57:29 ''Bright star,
00:57:32 ''would I were steadfast as thou art
00:57:39 ''Not in Ione splendor hung aloft the night
00:57:45 ''And watching, with eternal lids apart
00:57:52 ''Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite
00:58:00 ''The moving waters at their priestlike task
00:58:04 ''Of pure ablution
00:58:08 ''Or gazing on the new soft fallen masque
00:58:12 ''Of snow upon the mountains and the moors
00:58:17 ''No, yet still steadfast, still unchangeable
00:58:27 ''PiIIow'd upon my fair Love’s ripening breast
00:58:34 ''To feel for ever its soft swell and fall
00:58:44 ''Awake for ever
00:58:50 ''in a sweet unrest
00:58:56 ''Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath
00:59:03 ''And so Live ever, or else swoon to death''
00:59:41 ''My heart aches,
00:59:45 ''My sense, as though of hemlock
00:59:50 ''Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
00:59:52 ''One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk
00:59:57 '''Tis not through envy of thy happy lot
01:00:03 ''That thou, light-winged Dryad of the trees
01:00:07 ''In some melodious plot
01:00:08 ''Of beechen green,
01:00:11 ''Singest of summer in full-throated ease
01:00:16 ''O, for a draft of vintage that hath been
01:00:19 ''Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth
01:00:23 ''Tasting of Flora and the country green
01:00:25 ''Dance, and Provençal song,
01:00:30 ''O for a beaker full of the warm South
01:00:33 ''Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene
01:00:37 ''With beaded bubbles winking at the brim
01:00:39 ''And purple-stained mouth
01:00:42 ''That I might drink,
01:00:47 ''And with thee fade away into the forest dim
01:00:52 ''Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget
01:00:56 ''What thou among the leaves
01:01:00 ''The weariness, the fever, and the fret
01:01:03 ''Here, where men sit
01:01:07 ''Where palsy shakes a few,
01:01:11 ''Where youth grows pale, and specter-thin,
01:01:16 ''Where but to think is to be full of sorrow
01:01:18 ''And leaden-eyed despairs
01:01:21 ''Where Beauty cannot keep
01:01:24 ''Or new Love pine at them
01:01:29 ''Away! Away! For I will fly to thee
01:01:33 ''Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards
01:01:37 ''But on the viewless wings of Poesy
01:01:40 ''Though the dull brain perplexes and retards
01:01:43 ''Already with thee! Tender is the night
01:01:47 ''And haply the Queen-Moon is on her throne
01:01:50 ''Cluster'd around by all her starry Fays
01:01:54 ''But here there is no light
01:01:56 ''Save what from heaven
01:01:58 ''Through verdurous glooms
01:02:04 ''I cannot see what flowers are at my feet
01:02:07 ''Nor what soft incense
01:02:10 ''But, in embalmed darkness,
01:02:14 ''Wherewith the seasonable month endows
01:02:16 ''The grass, the thicket
01:02:19 ''White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine
01:02:23 ''Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves
01:02:26 ''And mid-May's eldest child
01:02:29 ''The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine
01:02:33 ''The murmurous haunt of flies
01:02:39 ''Darkling I listen, and, for many a time
01:02:43 ''I have been half in love with easeful Death
01:02:47 ''Call'd him soft names
01:02:50 ''To take into the air my quiet breath
01:02:54 ''Now more than ever seems it rich to die
01:02:58 ''To cease upon the midnight with no pain
01:03:01 ''While thou art pouring forth
01:03:03 ''In such an ecstasy!
01:03:06 ''Still wouldst thou sing,
01:03:11 ''To thy high requiem become a sod
01:03:16 ''Thou wast not born for death,
01:03:20 ''No hungry generations tread thee down
01:03:24 ''The voice I hear this passing night
01:03:26 ''In ancient days by emperor and clown
01:03:30 ''Perhaps the self-same song
01:03:32 ''Through the sad heart of Ruth,
01:03:36 ''She stood in tears amid the alien corn
01:03:40 ''The same that oft-times hath
01:03:41 ''Charm'd magic casements,
01:03:45 ''Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn
01:03:50 ''Forlorn! The very word is like a bell
01:03:54 ''To toll me back from thee to my sole self!
01:03:59 ''Adieu! The fancy cannot cheat so well
01:04:02 ''As she is fam'd to do, deceiving elf
01:04:05 ''Adieu! Adieu! Thy plaintive anthem fades
01:04:10 ''Past the near meadows,
01:04:14 ''Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep
01:04:18 ''In the next valley-glades
01:04:21 ''Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
01:04:25 ''Fled is that music. Do I wake or sleep?''
