By coincidence

 Today is a holiday in San Sebastián De Los Reyes as it is St Sebastian's day. It is also a federal holiday in The U.S.A as Martin Luther King is remembered on this day.

In this poem Oscar Wilde remembers St Sebastian during a visit to Keats' grave in  Rome.

It is interesting to note that Oscar Wilde discarded his own name and adopted the name Sebastian Melmoth during his exile in France. Wilde greatly admired  the novel Melmoth The Wanderer written by Charles Maturin, his great uncle on the side of his mother, Jane Francesca Elgee.

The Grave  Of  Keats

 Rid of world’s injustice, and his pain,

He rests at last beneath God’s veil of blue:

Taken from life when life and love were new

The youngest of the martyrs here is lain,

Fair as Sebastian, and as early slain.

 A  quote from Ravenna by  a youthful Oscar Wilde:

We see that Death is mighty lord of all,

And king and clown to ashen dust must fall.
