"I will give you a definition of a proud man: he is a man who has neither vanity nor wisdom one filled with hatred cannot be vain, neither can he be wise." John Keats What a definition of the English poet. From the quote, it is clear that pride feeds on hatred. Well, I'm going to meditate on that. What I do not doubt is that pride is lacking in wisdom. Only the ignorant show arrogance without foundation, and that will lead them down the path of bitterness. I had never read anything about the romantic poet before. So it is a good time for me to approach the English writer through one of his most celebrated sonnets for the first time. "Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold, And many goodly states and kingdoms seen; Round many western islands have I been Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold. Oft of one wide expanse had I been told That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne; Yet did I never breathe its pure serene Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold: Then felt I like some watcher of the skies When a new planet swims into his ken; Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes He stared at the Pacific—and all his men Look'd at each other with a wild surmise— Silent, upon a peak in Darien." — John Keats, "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer" (1816) Image: John Keats by William Hilton.jpg https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Keats#/media/Archivo:John_Keats_by_William_Hilton.jpg
