Whatever the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth -whether it existed before or not
John Keats
Image
The world is too brutal for me-I am glad there is such a thing as the grave-I am sure I shall never have any rest till I get there.
John Keats

John Keats

Dry your eyes O dry your eyes, For I was taught in Paradise To ease my breast of melodies.
John Keats
Image
Works of genius are the first things in the world.
John Keats
Image
It is a flaw In happiness to see beyond our bourn, - It forces us in summer skies to mourn, It spoils the singing of the nightingale.
John Keats
Image
There is nothing stable in the world uproar's your only music.
John Keats
Image
Ay, on the shores of darkness there is a light, and precipices show untrodden green there is a budding morrow in midnight there is triple sight in blindness keen.
John Keats
Image
Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.
John Keats
Image
I will imagine you Venus tonight and pray, pray, pray to your star like a Heathen.
John Keats

You are always new. The last of your kisses was even the sweetest the last smile the brightest the last movement the gracefullest.
