I will clamber through the clouds and exist.
John Keats

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
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
Image
With a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration.
John Keats
Image
Open afresh your rounds of starry folds, Ye ardent Marigolds.
John Keats
Image
Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.
John Keats
Image
Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards, And seal the hushed Casket of my Soul.
