Image
The day is gone, and all its sweets are gone!
John Keats

Image
Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience.
John Keats
Image
Shed no tear - O, shed no tear! The flower will bloom another year. Weep no more - O, weep no more! Young buds sleep in the root's white core.
John Keats
Image
--then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone, and think Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.
John Keats
Image
Like a mermaid in sea-weed, she dreams awake, trembling in her soft and chilly nest.
John Keats
Image
The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted: thence proceeds mawkishness.
John Keats
Image
To stay youthful, stay useful.
