John Keats
When I have fears that I may ceace to be, Before my pen has gleaned my teaming brain.
John Keats
...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
To stay youthful, stay useful.
John Keats
I came to feel how far above All fancy, pride, and fickle maidenhood, All earthly pleasure, all imagined good, Was the warm tremble of a devout kiss.
John Keats
