Here John Keats began to write The Eve of St Agnes 1819

"St. Agnes’ Eve—-Ah, bitter chill it was!
The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold;
The hare limp’d trembling through the frozen grass,
And silent was the flock in woolly fold:
Numb were the Beadsman’s fingers"

Numb were Keats' fingers too, as he saw the problem of writing poetry hanging from a second storey window and moved somewhere more comfortable. And warmer.
