Image
O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap Of murky buildings: climb with me the steep,-- Nature's observatory--whence the dell, In flowery slopes, its river's crystal swell, May seem a span let me thy vigils keep 'Mongst boughs pavilion'd, where the deer's swift leap Startles the wild bee from the foxglove bell.
John Keats
Image
Souls of poets dead and gone, What Elysium have ye known, Happy field or mossy cavern, Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern? Have ye tippled drink more fine Than mine host's Canary wine?
John Keats
Image
I love your hills and I love your dales, And I love your flocks a-bleating but oh, on the heather to lie together, With both our hearts a-beating!
John Keats
Image
And shade the violets, That they may bind the moss in leafy nets.
John Keats
Image
Like a mermaid in sea-weed, she dreams awake, trembling in her soft and chilly nest.
John Keats
Image
Open afresh your rounds of starry folds, Ye ardent Marigolds.
John Keats
Image
O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!
John Keats
Image
Here are sweet peas, on tiptoe for a flight With wings of gentle flush o'er delicate white, And taper fingers catching at all things, To bind them all about with tiny rings.
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
I would jump down Etna for any public good - but I hate a mawkish popularity.
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
Scenery is fine - but human nature is finer.
John Keats
Image
But the rose leaves herself upon the brier, For winds to kiss and grateful bees to feed.
John Keats
Image
How beautiful, if sorrow had not made Sorrow more beautiful than Beauty's self.
John Keats
Image
Whatever the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth -whether it existed before or not
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
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
A little noiseless noise among the leaves, Born of the very sigh that silence heaves.
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

was it a vision or a waking dream? Fled is that music--do I wake or sleep?
