This traveling cat loves its poetry, because we found it at the gravesite of the English Romantic poet John Keats at the Protestant Cemetery in Rome, Italy. During the last months of his life, Keats lived near the city's famous Spanish Steps. He died of tuberculosis at age twenty-five.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a great shot. Grave sites really can be so majestic. Add a cat to the scene and it's even more so.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on the Kindle edition of Keats. I picked up a copy.
I have occasionally visited grave sites for their history. This sweet little one is an addition to the beauty of the grave yard. I had no idea Keats died so very very young.
