John Keats
Image
A man should have the fine point of his soul taken off to become fit for this world.
John Keats

John Keats
Image
With a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration.
John Keats
Image
O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap Of murky buildings: climb with me the steep,-- Nature's observatory--whence the dell, In flowery slopes, its river's crystal swell, May seem a span let me thy vigils keep 'Mongst boughs pavilion'd, where the deer's swift leap Startles the wild bee from the foxglove bell.
John Keats
Image

John Keats
Image
Even bees, the little almsmen of spring bowers, know there is richest juice in poison-flowers.
John Keats
Image
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies when a new planet swims into his ken.
John Keats
Image
Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity, it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
John Keats
Image
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains/ My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk.
John Keats
Image
I have met with women whom I really think would like to be married to a Poem and to be given away by a Novel.
John Keats
Image
We must repeat the often repeated saying, that it is unworthy a religious man to view an irreligious one either with alarm or aversion, or with any other feeling than regret and hope and brotherly commiseration.
John Keats
Image
In a drear-nighted December, Too happy, happy brook, Thy bubblings ne'er remember Apollo's summer look But with a sweet forgetting, They stay their crystal fretting, Never, never petting About the frozen time.
John Keats
Image
Every mental pursuit takes its reality and worth from the ardour of the pursuer.
John Keats
Image
Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works.
