Body Quote by John Keats
“My mind has been the most discontented and restless one that ever was put into a body too small for it… I never felt my mind repose upon anything with complete and undistracted enjoyment- upon no person but you. When you are in the room my thoughts never fly out of window: you always concentrate my whole senses”
