Keats’s Exquisite Love Letter to Fanny Brawne – The John Keats’s Exquisite Love Letter to Fanny Brawne – The

Each chapter opens with a letter to a different body part: 'Letters to my Fanny' covers sex, orgasms and periods; 'Letters to my Brain' covers education, memory and media; 'Letters to my Tummy' covers crop-tops, pregnancy and sit-ups. I kiss'd your Writing over in the hope you had indulg'd me by leaving a trace of honey. What was your dream? Tell it me and I will tell you the interpretation threreof. When you're just thinking about what you wish you could change about yourself, it's hard to think about what your body actually does do and what it has achieved in all the years you have been with it. This book does exactly that. With no barriers into what is uncomfortable to talk about out loud to other people, Healey encourages people to talk more, to engage with their friends with discussions about what is natural and what everyone does. She promotes such a healthy lifestyle in opening up to people and cutting the stigma on topics such as periods or women masturbating. This is such a powerful book to read, and the language she uses really makes it easier to think you're just listening to a friend, and it really boosted the way I try to look at my body now, so when I do start feeling down, I try and list the positives about what my body can do. Not necessarily what it can't to or what it doesn't look like. In this episode I talk to Angelica Malin, founder of the online lifestyle magazine About Time. We talk about starting a business, the highs and lows of being your own boss, the modern work world, wearing spandex to work, being responsible online, being on shpilkies and vitamin drips!

About this book

published on 2017-10-12T06:01:46Z EP. 18 - What the hell is a doula anyway, the cesarean debate, birth rights, sex fiends Both – I’m a green-juice and yoga girl in the week (although I’m writing this on a Wednesday afternoon with a huge glass of prosecco) and then a cheesy nacho and vodka girl at the weekends. I had been feeling rubbish for about four days but I had been really busy at work so just carried on,” recalls Cherry, 38, who fronts shows including BBC One’s Sunday Morning Live and Inside The Factory with Gregg Wallace on BBC Two. How much more fun in life could I have had if I'd just stopped worrying so much and stopped beating myself up?

Why did you decide to write ‘Letters to my Fanny’? I wanted to write about being a woman – a real woman – not like the ones in the Disney films or magazines, but one that eats and jumps and isn’t graceful and likes nachos and sex.

O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute. I hate the world: it batters too much the wings of my self-will, and would I could take a sweet poison from your lips to send me out of it. From no others would I take it. I am indeed astonish'd to find myself so careless of all charms but yours—remembering as I do the time when even a bit of ribband was a matter of interest with me.

I’m fastidious about it now. I know what to look out for. If I’ve been for a wee and it’s a bit shorter than normal that’s usually the first sign. I’ll then get this strange ache in my pelvic area which grows and grows if you don’t do anything about it, until next time you go to the loo you’ll get the trademark sting when you wee.” Fanny and John remained engaged and in love until his tragically untimely death of tuberculosis at the age of twenty-five. The three years of their betrothal were among the most poetically productive for Keats.

I really would rate this a 4.5/5, and I do recommend it to anyone who wants to understand and start loving themselves and to just learn that you are not alone with your thoughts and emotions, as everyone goes through this. You absorb me in spite of myself—you alone: for I look not forward with any pleasure to what is called being settled in the world; I tremble at domestic cares—yet for you I would meet them, though if it would leave you the happier I would rather die than do so. You mention 'horrid people' and ask me whether it depend upon them whether I see you again. Do understand me, my love, in this. I have so much of you in my heart that I must turn Mentor when I see a chance of harm befalling you. I would never see any thing but Pleasure in your eyes, love on your lips, and Happiness in your steps. I would wish to see you among those amusements suitable to your inclinations and spirits; so that our loves might be a delight in the midst of Pleasures agreeable enough, rather than a resource from vexations and cares. But I doubt much, in case of the worst, whether I shall be philosopher enough to follow my own Lessons: if I saw my resolution give you a pain I could not. The title of the book is there to grab attention. What the book actually does is to describe her life using various body parts as a starting point. I doubt this is an unique way of telling a story but it is effective in this case. Not what I thought it would be. I thought it would be some hilarious letters that she and others had written. However it was just an autobiography/ Cherrys opinions.This book is the story of how I've come to understand some vital life lessons, and started to love being a woman. I hope you enjoy it. Except you, Mum and Dad. You should stop reading now. It's for the best. I promise."

Letters to my Fanny by Cherry Healey | Waterstones

Self-deprecatory comments by Jane Austen on her own epistolary handwriting, as compared with Cassandra's My most recent came during Christmas and was one of the fastest I had experienced. It went from a few twinges in the morning to lying on the floor unable to go anywhere by lunchtime. They did an ultrasound and discovered because I had left it so long, my kidneys were permanently damaged; they will always be scarred from the infection.” In 1819, Keats had an extremely rich year of creativity; he wrote “The Eve of St. Agnes,”“La Belle Dame Sans Merci,” and his six great odes, which include “Ode to a Nightingale,”“Ode on Indolence,”“Ode on Melancholy,” and “Ode on a Grecian Urn.”Perhaps I am too vehement, then fancy me on my knees, especially when I mention a part of your Letter which hurt me; you say speaking of Mr. Severn 'but you must be satisfied in knowing that I admired you much more than your friend.' My dear love, I cannot believe there ever was or ever could be any thing to admire in me especially as far as sight goes—I cannot be admired, I am not a thing to be admired. You are, I love you; all I can bring you is a swooning admiration of your Beauty. I hold that place among Men which snub-nos'd brunettes with meeting eyebrows do among women—they are trash to me—unless I should find one among them with a fire in her heart like the one that burns in mine. My love—I have been in so irritable a state of health these two or three last days, that I did not think I should be able to write this week. Not that I was so ill, but so much so as only to be capable of an unhealthy teasing letter. To night I am greatly recovered only to feel the languor I have felt after you touched with ardency. In this hilarious and candid memoir about twenty-first-century womanhood, Cherry Healey shares outrageous, poignant and eye-wateringly funny confessions. She's also written an absolutely brilliant book called Why Human Rights in Childbirth Matter, that the Chief Executive of the Royal College of Midwives said 'should become essential reading for all maternity professionals'.
