VERSES WRITTEN DURING A TOUR IN SCOTLAND
Keats saw his brother George and wife set sail from Liverpool at the end of June, 1818, and then set forth with his friend Charles Armitage Brown on a walking tour through Wordsworth's country and into Scotland. The verses included in this section were all sent in letters, chiefly to his brother Tom. He did not include any in the volume which he published in 1820, and they first saw the light when Lord Houghton included them in the Life, Letters and Literary Remains. The more off-hand and familiar verses written at this time are given in the Appendix.
