Photo of the Week: John Keats' Grave in Rome

This is a wall plaque accompanying famous British poet John Keats’ grave in the beautiful Non-Catholic Cemetery of Rome. Here’s a transcription of the acrostic (acronym) poem:

K-eats! if thy cherished name be “writ in water”

E-ach drop has fallen from some mourner’s cheek;

A-sacred tribute; such as heroes seek,

T-hough oft in vain—for dazzling deeds of slaughter

S-leep on! Not honoured less for Epitaph so meek!
