About This Quote
"The moonlight and high-wind.Dark poplars toss, insinuate the sea." This is a poem by the American poet John Keats, written in the autumn of 1817, when Keats was about seventeen. It was written to illustrate the beauty of nature, and it has come to represent the symbols of nature - the moon, wind, poplars and sea.
