Keats: “Oh Arab design of tangled vines and
trodden weeds.” I want to move this to my next house.
Byron: Friend Ketch, such carpets are so

Keats: That is the difference between us. You

imagination is full of riches.
Byron: Roll up the carpet I say, simplify your
life and throw it away.

the floor.
