But let me see thee stoop from heaven on wings That fill the sky with silver glitterings!
John Keats
Image
I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.
John Keats

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter therefore, ye soft pipes, play on Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd, Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone.

John Keats
Image
When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st, Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
John Keats

John Keats
Image
You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I was dissolving.
John Keats
Image
I have good reason to be content, for thank God I can read and perhaps understand Shakespeare to his depths.
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
When I have fears that I may ceace to be, Before my pen has gleaned my teaming brain.
John Keats
Image
A long poem is a test of invention which I take to be the Polar star of poetry, as fancy is the sails, and imagination the rudder.
