Riz quotes Keats:
> "...Negative Capability, that is when man is
> capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts
> without any irritable reaching after fact & reason"
>
> I always took this as the truth of the moment, of
> the experience - without judgement which then links
> to "Beauty is truth, truth beauty"
Thank you for this! I like Keats but it's Shelley who
won my heart - and Shelley greatly admired Keats. I
hadn't heard about "Negative Capability", but it's a
very interesting concept. One that Keats really
mastered better than most. Very Zen.
namaste,
Elizabeth
