"John Keats John Keats John

please put your scarf on"

(the above from "Seymour: an Introduction" by J.D. Salinger)

In an effort to find public domain poetry, I came across "Ode to a Nightingale." I think copyrights last about 100 years, so one who wished to capitalize on modern poetic genius via the t-shirt industry would have to deal with Legalities and Estates.



I think I can do better with the feet. I'm also not certain about the colors, since I'm using a laptop and the angle of the screen affects the appearance of the color. It might be a pinkish-gray nightingale instead of being more buff and brown. Let me know how off I am.

I'm not sure if this is the best line from the poem. It's very messagey. But it seemed nicely disjunctive from the picture if you didn't know the poem at all. Which I don't, having a terrible aversion to big Romantic rhyming poems. Thou-schmou, I say.
