    Thank you, this is a great clip. I've always loved the photo at Keat's grave- just a perfect combination of two sensitive souls at odds with this world. Has anyone on here ever visited Keat's grave, or know how easy it is to find it? I plan a trip this summer- Venice first then Rome!

      Keats is buried in the Protestant Cemetery in Rome. It is a beautiful, crumbling, intimate little cemetery, overrun with cats. The most famous grave there is the impressive Pyramid of Cestius - you can't miss it. A google will get you on your way. Don't forget to visit Percy Bysshe Shelley, who is also buried there.

      One of my personal favorite graves ever is that of Emmaline Storey (I think that is the spelling). She has the most beautiful "grieving angel" draped over her tomb. If I remember correctly, her husband was a sculptor, and on her death he created this memorial, which is breathtaking. I think it is located near the wall at the top.

      If you are a Keats fan, don't miss the house where Keats died. It is at the base of the Spanish Steps:

      http://www.keats-shelley-house.org/

      This place has a wonderful collection of art/manuscripts/ephemera related to Keats, Shelley, Byron the Brownings and even Oscar Wilde. It is a fantastic place to visit if you're a fan of the great Romantic poets.

      Enjoy your trip - I wish I were going : )

      If Moz did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

        Well this has made up my mind to go! Thank you.
        It is partly inspired by having read the Andrew Motion biography of Keats recently (thoroughly recommended by the way). I had the same response to this as the first time I read Morrissey's lyrics and interviews, an overwhelming recognition of someone that you might, at last, feel an affinity with. If that makes sense?
        Anyway, Rome it will be, after I've celebrated a 'significant' birthday in Venice :)

  • I could barely concentrate on that because of the annoying, 'we are cutting edge cool', pretentious camera switching.

  • That cutting back and forth is may be annoying but that's not as irritating as his spew of implied artsy-ness.

  • pretentious photographer.

    But he still can't use correct grammar. "Morrissey and me (sic) walking down the..."

    Why can't photographers stop pretending to be artistes?

  • I love this photograph. It so nice to hear the story behind the picture. I loved the MOJO article.
    I think he shows Morrissey a lot of respect and understanding.

  • It reminds me of an autumn day in the park.

    I like the photographers square pictures. Very retro x
