John Keats
A moment's thought is passion's passing knell.
John Keats

John Keats

John Keats
Whatever the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth -whether it existed before or not
John Keats
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion-- I have shuddered at it, I shudder no more. I could be martyred for my religion. Love is my religion and I could die for that. I could die for you. My Creed is Love and you are its only tenet.
John Keats
We have woven a web, you and I, attached to this world but a separate world of our own invention.
John Keats
My imagination is a monastery and I am its monk.
John Keats
Works of genius are the first things in the world.
John Keats
There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify - so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it, as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish.
John Keats
