John Keats
Image
And shade the violets, That they may bind the moss in leafy nets.

John Keats
Image
I never can feel certain of any truth, but from a clear perception of its beauty.
John Keats
Image
Call the world if you please the vale of soul-making. Then you will find out the use of the world.
John Keats
Image
Nothing is finer for the purposes of great productions than a very gradual ripening of the intellectual powers.
John Keats
Image
The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted: thence proceeds mawkishness.
John Keats
Image
The silver, snarling trumpets 'gan to chide.
John Keats
Image
Everything that reminds me of her goes through me like a spear.
John Keats
Image
Many have original minds who do not think it - they are led away by custom!
