Analysis of An Epitaph For Keats
Dante Gabriel Rossetti 1828 (London) – 1882 (Birchington-on-Sea)
THROUGH one, years since hanged and forgot
Who stabbed backs by the Quarter,
Here lieth one who—while Time's stream
Runneth, as God hath taught her,
Bearing man's fame to men,—will have
His great name writ in water.
