You speak of Lord Byron and me; there is this great difference between us. He describes what he sees I describe what I imagine. Mine is the hardest task. - John Keats
I think Keats got it wrong here. It was just the reverse. Byron was all imagination, and Keats described what he felt and saw. Hmm...I also disagree with him on the imagination. It`s far more difficult to describe what you see than to describe what you imagine.
