"Intelligences are atoms of perception -- they know and they see and they are pure, in short they are God. How then are Souls to be made? How then are these sparks which are God to have identity given them -- so as ever to possess a bliss peculiar to each one's individual existence. How, but in the medium of a world like this?"

- John Keats

lovely 😊 it’s from his letters?

Yes, I think it was in a letter to his sister, Fanny Keats.

I think Fanny was the name of his love interest but his sister's name was Francis so perhaps the letter was addressed to her

Yes, Fanny Brawne was his love.
