He was one of the main figures of the second generation of Romantic poets along with Lord Byron and Percy Shelley. John Keats died in Rome on 23rd February 1821, after suffering from severe tuberculosis. His last request was to be placed under a tombstone bearing no name or date, only the words, "Here lies One whose Name was writ in Water." He is buried near Shelley in the protestant cemetery in Rome.
