KEATS LOVE AFFAIR.
1t Was But Another Disaster of the
Last Days of the Poets Life.

Last Days of the Poets Life.
Keats way of love was by no means
a way Of happiness. The object of
his passion was a Miss Fanny BraWne,
whom he had the fortune or misfor-
tune to meet at the Dilkes' house. She
has become fairly well known in Keats
photography as "a brisk and blooming
very young beauty Of the far from IN
common English hawk blond type"
Her affection for Keats seems to
have been real, but limited by a rather
shallow emotional capacity. His for
her was enfevered with doubts and
questiOnings not only about the real
ity of his feeling toward her. but
about his failing health and his uncer-
tain prospects. Disease had already
weakened him when he met her. and
between the fire of disease and the
fire of love his vitality was rapidly
consumed. Love proved to be but an
other disaster to heighten the tragic
suffering of the last eighteen months
of his life.
When, finally, he went to Rome. ac-
