What does he say?
What does Keats say when they find him passed out in the garden of Brawnes' home starting with "Stay away from me". I cannot understand it.
He says, "Keep away from me if you do not love me. If you have not a crystal conscience this past month". I don't know if that was because she hadn't written to him or what.
shareActually it was one of her letters that precipitated his walk to her house. She had written him and when he received the letter it was obvious that someone else in the house had already opened it and read it before giving it to him. He rose from his bed in a rage and dressed and walked many miles to her before collapsing. His remark reflected his sense of betrayal to those he trusted. He was warning the Brauns, I think, not to disappoint him too.
"I'd never ask you to trust me. It's the cry of a guilty soul."
I don't remember seeing this. Was the scene with his reaction to the opened letter included in versions of the dvd not released in the United States???
~"Chris, am I weird?"
~"Yeah, but so what? Everybody's weird."
No, this is in his biography. It's omission from the film kinda makes the scene with him in the shrubbery seem melodramatic, when in fact it's historically accurate. It's why he spent his remaining time in England with Fannie.
"I'd never ask you to trust me. It's the cry of a guilty soul."
I wish they had kept that in the film. It would've made that scene so much better, because it did seem kind of random that he just showed up at their house like that.
I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.
