Endymion (extract)
by John KeatsBook I
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases, it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
A flowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days,
Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways
Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pall
From our dark spirits.
"From Endymion" by John Keats. Public domain ,from the Writer's Almanac today,yes beauty does "move away the pall from our dark spirits",May this spring and all springs be a bounty of resplendent beauty for us all....

You find the joy in the darkness and cold
