Its better to lose your ego to the One you Love than to lose the One you Love to your Ego
John Keats
Image
The excellence of every Art is its intensity.
John Keats
Image
Sudden a thought came like a full-blown rose, Flushing his brow.
John Keats
Image
Whatever the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth -whether it existed before or not
John Keats
Image
Darkling I listen and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Called him soft names in many a muse' d rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy!
John Keats
Image
You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I was dissolving.
John Keats
Image
My mind has been the most discontented and restless one that ever was put into a body too small for it.... I never felt my mind repose upon anything with complete and undistracted enjoyment- upon no person but you. When you are in the room my thoughts never fly out of window: you always concentrate my whole senses
John Keats
Image
All my clear-eyed fish, Golden, or rainbow-sided, or purplish, Vermilion-tail'd, or finn'd with silvery gauze... My charming rod, my potent river spells.
John Keats
Image
Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art-- Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night And watching, with eternal lids apart, Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite.
John Keats
Image
Music's golden tongue Flatter'd to tears this aged man and poor.
John Keats
Image
Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget.
John Keats
Image
No one can usurp the heights... But those to whom the miseries of the world Are misery, and will not let them rest.
John Keats
Image
Some say the world is a vale of tears, I say it is a place of soul-making.
John Keats
Image
...yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From out dark spirits.
John Keats
Image
Let us away, my love, with happy speed There are no ears to hear, or eyes to see, - Drown'd all in Rhenish and the sleepy mead. Awake! arise! my love and fearless be, For o'er the southern moors I have a home for thee.
John Keats
Image
I would jump down Etna for any public good - but I hate a mawkish popularity.
John Keats
Image
I see a lily on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever dew And on thy cheek a fading rose Fast withereth too.
John Keats
Image
The uttered part of a man's life, let us always repeat, bears to the unuttered, unconscious part a small unknown proportion. He himself never knows it, much less do others.
John Keats
Image
Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards, And seal the hushed Casket of my Soul.
John Keats
Image
was it a vision or a waking dream? Fled is that music--do I wake or sleep?
