A letter...
"I cannot exist without you.
I am forgetful of everything but seeing you again.
My life seems to stop there, I see no further.
You have absorb'd me.
I have a sensation at the present moment
as though I were dissolving.
I have been astonished that men
could die martyrs for religion...
I have shudder'd at it... I shudder no more.
I could be martyr'd for my religion: Love is my religion.
I could die for that. I could die for you.
My creed is love, and you are its only tenet.
You have ravish'd me away by a power I cannot resist."
- letter written by John Keats
