Depressed Poets

Seems that poets have to be depressed to be good. I guess great art comes with great emotion. I never thought I would enjoy the classics so much, but after taking the time to read them, it is very easy to relate to todays world. I've only ever heard Wordsworth and Keats, and shuddered at the name. But now, after immersing myself into their world, I am starting to understand why these people are are still read in High Schools and University's around the world.
