Keats 2x

I just finished Marathon Man, and I enjoyed in quite a bit. Interestingly, I noticed that both films I watched this night alluded to Keats. The students in The Last Picture Show were discussing the poet, and one student criticized "The Nightingale." The reference in Marathon Man was much less obvious, and as far as I know (having never read any of Keats's work before tonight) it may have been accidental. One of the signs above the sidewalk of the street with all of the Jewish diamond vendors advertises KEATS COFFEE SHOP with no apostraphe. Once again, it probably is nothing, but it caught my attention nonetheless.
