More quotes by John Keats
Where are the songs of Spring? Aye, where are they? Think not of them thou has thy music too.
John Keats
The uttered part of a man's life, let us always repeat, bears to the unuttered, unconscious part a small unknown proportion. He himself never knows it, much less do others.
John Keats
Young playmates of the rose and daffodil, Be careful ere ye enter in, to fill Your baskets high With fennel green, and balm, and golden pines Savory latter-mint, and columbines.
John Keats
Parting they seemed to tread upon the air, Twin roses by the zephyr blown apart Only to meet again more close.
John Keats
Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.
John Keats
I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top.
John Keats
Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes.
John Keats
I never can feel certain of any truth, but from a clear perception of its beauty.
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
As the Swiss inscription says: Sprechen ist silbern, Schweigen ist golden,- Speech is silvern, Silence is golden or, as I might rather express it, Speech is of Time, Silence is of Eternity.
John Keats
I should write for the mere yearning and fondness I have for the beautiful, even if my night's labors should be burnt every morning and no eye shine upon them.
John Keats
She press'd his hand in slumber so once more He could not help but kiss her and adore.
John Keats
O, sorrow! Why dost borrow Heart's lightness from the merriment of May?
John Keats
A man should have the fine point of his soul taken off to become fit for this world.
John Keats
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
That queen of secrecy, the violet.
John Keats
I have good reason to be content, for thank God I can read and perhaps understand Shakespeare to his depths.
John Keats
... the open sky sits upon our senses like a sapphire crown - the Air is our robe of state - the Earth is our throne, and the Sea a mighty minstrel playing before it.
John Keats
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
The creature has a purpose, and his eyes are bright with it.
John Keats
