More Hidden Secret Jews - Latest - Was Keats The Poet A Jewish Mr Katz Here's the latest. Keats supposedly died of consumption overseas. Now the church has discovered that his supposed body is four inches taller and matches the description of his friend's servant who had consumption. Sounds like Katz, hiding the fact that he was Jewish, got tired of the pretense so he could marry his Jewish girlfriend and go back to being Jewish. So he pretended he'd died, and the servant's grave was given his name. Keats - really a Jewish poet? Now for the best story for poetry lovers. Wordsworth's immortal poem Daffodils, goes: I wandered lonely as a cloud Then all at once I saw a crowd A host of golden daffodils ... It doesn't sound the same if you say A host of yellow daffodils. A bit prosaic. Brighter colours. But no, golden daffodils is better. The original version had yellow daffodils. Who changed it? The Wordsworths' visitor, a Mr Katz. He was married to a Jewish Miss Gold and in business with her brother. Dorothy Wordsworth said Mr K would not eat meat. Now we wait to hear from the cemetery whether they will allow an exhumation and whether Mr Katz, same dates at Mr Keats, was the same height too. |
