absorbed everything. He took himself off to London several times, holed up in the library at the Keats House museum, took the train to Winchester and walked the walk that led Keats to write "To Autumn," which many call his most perfectly realized poem. In Italy, he rented the apartment above the one in which Keats died, at the Spanish Steps. Twice he traced the route Keats and Severn took from Naples to Rome.He knew he didn't want to commit a mere "act of scholarship."
