On this day Charles Hardin Holley died, and John Keats was fatally stricken.




"Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
she had the world in the palm of her hand
but she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
to win a brown eyed handsome man
she fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man"
- “Brown Eyed Handsome Man” by Chuck Berry,
recorded by Buddy Holly



“The while let music wander round my ears,
And as it reaches each delicious ending,
Let me write down a line of glorious tone,
And full of many wonders of the spheres:
For what a height my spirit is contending!
’Tis not content so soon to be alone.”
- John Keats, On leaving some friends at an early Hour
