I am now so depressed that I have not an idea to put to paper — my hand feels like lead — and yet it is an unpleasant numbness; it does not take away the pain of Existence. I don’t know what to write.

And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting Love;— then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.
John Keats (letter to J. H. Reynolds, 31 Jan. 1818)
