I want this..

To Fanny Brawne:


I cannot exist without you - I am forgetful of 
every thing but seeing you again - my life seems 
to stop there - I see no further. You have 
absorb'd me.

I have a sensation at the present moment as though 
I were dissolving ....I have been astonished that 
men could die martyrs for religion - I have 
shudder'd at it - I shudder no more - I could be 
martyr'd for my religion - love is my religion - I 
could die for that - I could die for you. My creed 
is love and you are its only tenet - you have 
ravish'd me away by a power I cannot resist.


John Keats
