As Frank Lloyd Wright remarked in 1940, "Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art." Keats has that air of a true connoisseur, of a fifteen pound cat who truly appreciates the simple things in life, even if they only amount to a sizable meal followed by a nap in a library chair. I, too, live with a connoisseur (George is a mere 13 pounds, but being only 12 months of age, he has much to learn - and eat...) In any case, offer Keats an extra helping of salmon from me and remind him that "Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all/Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
