Detailed explanation-1: -Today marks the day in 1821 when John Keats, the Romantic poet who waxed on Grecian urns and nightingales, succumbed to tuberculosis. He was only 25. John was thought to have contracted the infection while taking care of his critically ill brother Tom, who died in 1819.
Detailed explanation-2: -Keats suffered a series of hemorrhages in 1820 and died at the age of 25 from tuberculosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -John Keats passed away on the 23rd February 1821, aged just 25. In the afternoon he uttered his last words ‘Severn-I–lift me up–I am dying–I shall die easy–don’t be frightened–be firm, and thank God it has come!
Detailed explanation-4: -The story goes that in early February of 1820 he caught a fever and had a haemorrhage-coughed up blood-and by virtue of his medical training, Keats deemed this was arterial blood, thus signifying what he construed as his ‘death-warrant’.
