Image
I find I cannot exist without Poetry
John Keats
Image
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
Image
I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.
John Keats
Image
A poet without love were a physical and metaphysical impossibility.
John Keats
Image
A long poem is a test of invention which I take to be the Polar star of poetry, as fancy is the sails, and imagination the rudder.
John Keats
Image
Dancing music, music sad, Both together, sane and mad.
John Keats
Image
The day is gone, and all its sweets are gone!
John Keats
Image
Let us away, my love, with happy speed There are no ears to hear, or eyes to see, - Drown'd all in Rhenish and the sleepy mead. Awake! arise! my love and fearless be, For o'er the southern moors I have a home for thee.
John Keats
Image
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
Image
The thought, the deadly thought of solitude.
John Keats
Image
To stay youthful, stay useful.
John Keats
Image
Where are the songs of Spring? Aye, where are they? Think not of them thou has thy music too.
John Keats
Image
It is a flaw In happiness to see beyond our bourn, - It forces us in summer skies to mourn, It spoils the singing of the nightingale.
John Keats
Image
Even bees, the little almsmen of spring bowers, know there is richest juice in poison-flowers.
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
Image
There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify - so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it, as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish.
John Keats
Image
The opinion I have of the generality of women--who appear to me as children to whom I would rather give a sugar plum than my time, forms a barrier against matrimony which I rejoice in.
John Keats
Image
...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
Image
Knowledge enormous makes a god of me.
John Keats
Image
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains/ My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk.
John Keats
