from their being addressed to himself His

AS I esteem these sonnets after Wordsworths

any artist and they have been removed and

On pages 3 and of the letter the two sonnets
were copied by Hayden evidently not from the
photographs. but from The Annals" which he
had apparently had to consult at the British
Museum. He not an accurate writer or
transcriber. but his variations from THE An
nails text are but slight. In Sonnet | he writes
of for on in line >. semicolon for colon at end

omits the comma after east" in line II. In Son

with a capital T. After Keats's signature he
adds the words:

ter OF thanks Of that date. copy being in his
pOSsession)."
As the great value OF these sonnets Is In their
evidence that Keats in the early part of 1877
felt thoroughly the supreme qualities of the
Elgin marbles and desired to support publicly
HaydOn's strenuous advocacy of their unrivallcd
claims. the hbographical relation of the SON
nets to Hayden is interesting enough. In the

there are but two leaves between them and
