Image
Sudden a thought came like a full-blown rose, Flushing his brow.
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

I see a lily on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever dew And on thy cheek a fading rose Fast withereth too.
John Keats
Image
'Tis the witching hour of night, Orbed is the moon and bright. And the stars they glisten, glisten, Seeming with bright eyes to listen- For what listen they?

John Keats

John Keats
Image
It appears to me that almost any man may like the spider spin from his own inwards his own airy citadel.
John Keats
Image
All my clear-eyed fish, Golden, or rainbow-sided, or purplish, Vermilion-tail'd, or finn'd with silvery gauze... My charming rod, my potent river spells.
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
John Keats
Image
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies when a new planet swims into his ken.
John Keats
Image
Its better to lose your ego to the One you Love than to lose the One you Love to your Ego
John Keats

Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time.
