John Keats - Sonnet XIII. Addressed To HaydonJohn Keats - Sonnet XIII. Addressed To Haydon
Work rating: Medium


High-mindedness, a jealousy for good, A loving-kindness for the great man`s fame, Dwells here and there with people of no name, In noisome alley, and in pathless wood: And where we think the truth least understood, Oft may be found a "singleness of aim," That ought to frighten into hooded shame A money-mongering, pitiable brood. How glorious this affection for the cause Of steadfast genius, toiling gallantly! What when a stout unbending champion awes Envy and malice to their native sty? Unnumbered souls breathe out a still applause, Proud to behold him in his country`s eye.
