Bright Star - Fanny's First Letter

[@googledisher]

Just waiting for John Keats to send me a letter in the mail

[@naveennaidu9064]

U r still waiting?! ...

[@TheTcmgirl]

Same here.

[@MELstolethestage]

i think i was meant to be born in the era of these romantic poets. when romance was chaste and intense. when a single glance was almost like making love. and when a letter by post was a great art form; poetry in itself.

[@hansenng1028]

May be you were meant to born in the present era, as one of the rare few who seeks the romance in the strides of words, turning it all over again, the same.

[@jasonchambers8010]

Baron, Shelley, Wordsworth were all notoriously bad to women who they were in relationships with. Incest, adultery, rape, abandonment etc etc... Don't believe these men were feminists because they wrote good poetry.

[@AS-dw9oe]

MELstolethestage Your comment is pure poetry

[@bookchaser1103]

@@jasonchambers8010 Wow, those are some accusations. First off, I have no idea who Baron is. Second off, the notion of Percy Shelley or William Wordsworth raping anyone is absurd. They wee products of their time, sometimes worse and sometimes much better.

The sweetest scene of any film I've ever seen... utterly beguiling ... heartbreakingly spellbinding

[@purpleshamrock17]

I LOVE the butterfly quote, it's so sweet and you can really hear the sincerity in his voice and the part where she is kissing the paper is so wonderful too! Ah!

[@JohnReadsPoetry]

"I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain." That pretty much sums up Keats' time with Fanny. Little more than two short years, but lived with more passion than many people feel in an entire lifetime.

"I want a brighter word than bright, a fairer word than fair..." It just streams into my heart.

[@uadevojka]

One of the most amazing films I've ever seen♥️ this love story is always in my heart

[@asadmahmood2005]

"I could die for that - I could die for you. My Creed is Love and you are its only tenet" The Worst crimes are the crimes of the heart..

[@taaptee]

cant believe an actual tear slipped out my eye by the end of this

[@lost_comment]

sigh-one of my favorite moments in the film, just beautiful!

[@raechelcleberg8854]

The whole thing breaks my heart.

[@PaulMichaelBales]

beautiful letter and she is a beautiful actress 5 stars

[@andgadoline]

I loved this film, and keats letters. But theres a tape somwhere of the letters also Fanny's letters to him which are equally articulate. Well worth looking for

[@southsideserpents7155]

Behind every successful men..there is a woman sometimes hidden.. sometimes known

[@shalimarsgirl]

@MarasVeil Yes, there are "hearts which still compose such perfect letters in this age." I received one that bared his soul in such a deeply spiritual manner as I have never before experienced in my lifetime. His soul mingles with mine, and my heart beats together with his. Pure peace of heaven. Like Fanny, I kissed his letter. I read his words over and over ... and one more time. Sweetest love I've ever tasted!

[@Jackson207180]

I love Greig Fraser. Most beautifully shot movie of all time.

[@tigereyes1559]

In thee I saw a lovely bright star, Brimming was your youth like fresh nectar. As the eon swept away my heart to set sail to another ocean, I longed in all my being, To be there beside you - Lying down a violet bloom, In sweet sense of the scent of your shampoo. It kissed my senses every time I envisaged it to be, Where I ought to be. In my bones - your smiles I've engraved, In my clothes, You're embraced. In my heart, You're its poems. For the distance betwixt the oceans, Is the reason sailors fall for the tumult, For in my anguish, I have thee with me. *** For every beautiful lady who reads this, I wrote this for you - only you.

[@poetlife]

@littlebutterflii its: Ask yourself, my love, whether you are not very cruel to have so entrammelled me, so destroyed my freedom.

[@uadevojka]

That is so sweet!

[@Grey603]

[@hedylamarr1688]
