John Keats
Image
Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success.
John Keats
Image
Parting they seemed to tread upon the air, Twin roses by the zephyr blown apart Only to meet again more close.

Image
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter therefore, ye soft pipes, play on Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd, Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone.
John Keats
Image
I never can feel certain of any truth, but from a clear perception of its beauty.

John Keats

Knowledge enormous makes a God of me. Names, deeds, gray legends, dire events, rebellions, Majesties, sovran voices, agonies, Creations and destroyings, all at once Pour into the wide hollows of my brain, And deify me, as if some blithe wine Or bright elixir peerless I had drunk, And so become immortal.
John Keats

John Keats
Image
She press'd his hand in slumber so once more He could not help but kiss her and adore.
John Keats
Image
Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience.
John Keats
Image
But let me see thee stoop from heaven on wings That fill the sky with silver glitterings!
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
She hurried at his words, beset with fears, For there were sleeping dragons all around.
John Keats
Image
Blessed is the healthy nature it is the coherent, sweetly co-operative, not incoherent, self-distracting, self-destructive one!
John Keats
Image
Philosophy will clip an angel's wings, Conquer all mysteries by rule and line, Empty the haunted air, and gnomed mine - Unweave a rainbow.
