Image
Load every rift with ore.
John Keats
Image
O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!
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
...I leaped headlong into the Sea, and thereby have become more acquainted with the Soundings, the quicksands, and the rocks, than if I had stayed upon the green shore, and piped a silly pipe, and took tea and comfortable advice.
John Keats
Image
Through buried paths, where sleepy twilight dreams The summer time away.
John Keats
Image
Every mental pursuit takes its reality and worth from the ardour of the pursuer.
John Keats
Image
I myself am pursuing the same instinctive course as the veriest human animal you can think of I am, however young, writing at random straining at particles of light in the midst of a great darkness without knowing the bearing of any one assertion, of any one opinion. Yet may I not in this be free from sin?
John Keats
Image
If I should die, I have left no immortal work behind me — nothing to make my friends proud of my memory — but I have loved the principle of beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself remembered.
John Keats
Image
The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing, to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts.
John Keats
Image
Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes.
John Keats
Image
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
Image
And how they kist each other's tremulous eyes.
John Keats
Image
My imagination is a monastery and I am its monk.
John Keats
Image
The opinion I have of the generality of women--who appear to me as children to whom I would rather give a sugar plum than my time, forms a barrier against matrimony which I rejoice in.
John Keats
Image
Who would wish to be among the commonplace crowd of the little famous - who are each individually lost in a throng made up of themselves?
John Keats
Image
Philosophy will clip an angel's wings, Conquer all mysteries by rule and line, Empty the haunted air, and gnomed mine - Unweave a rainbow.
John Keats
Image
Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.
John Keats
Image
And there shall be for thee all soft delight That shadowy thought can win, A bright torch, and a casement ope at night, To let the warm Love in!
John Keats
Image
He ne'er is crowned with immortality Who fears to follow where airy voices lead.
John Keats
Image
An extensive knowledge is needful to thinking people-it takes away the heat and fever and helps, by widening speculation, to ease the burden of the mystery.
John Keats
