Image
The world is too brutal for me-I am glad there is such a thing as the grave-I am sure I shall never have any rest till I get there.
John Keats
Image
Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity, it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
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
We must repeat the often repeated saying, that it is unworthy a religious man to view an irreligious one either with alarm or aversion, or with any other feeling than regret and hope and brotherly commiseration.
John Keats
Image
I came to feel how far above All fancy, pride, and fickle maidenhood, All earthly pleasure, all imagined good, Was the warm tremble of a devout kiss.

John Keats
Image
So rainbow-sided, touch'd with miseries, She seem'd, at once, some penanced lady elf, Some demon's mistress, or the demon's self.
John Keats
Image
The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing, to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts.
John Keats
Image
Four seasons fill the measure of the year there are four seasons in the minds of men.
John Keats
Image
I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.
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.
John Keats
Image
I have met with women whom I really think would like to be married to a Poem and to be given away by a Novel.
John Keats
Image
All writing is a form of prayer.
John Keats
Image
To feel forever its soft fall and swell, Awake for ever in a sweet unrest, Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath, And so live ever-or else swoon in death.
John Keats
Image
What shocks the virtuous philosopher, delights the chameleon poet.
John Keats
Image
The day is gone, and all its sweets are gone!
John Keats
Image
The Public - a thing I cannot help looking upon as an enemy, and which I cannot address without feelings of hostility.
