Quote

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

Dry your eyes O dry your eyes, For I was taught in Paradise To ease my breast of melodies.
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
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
Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works.
John Keats
Image
--then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone, and think Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.
John Keats
Image
The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft and gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
John Keats
Image
O let me lead her gently o'er the brook, Watch her half-smiling lips and downward look O let me for one moment touch her wrist Let me one moment to her breathing list And as she leaves me, may she often turn Her fair eyes looking through her locks auburne.
John Keats
Image
The excellence of every Art is its intensity.
John Keats
Image
O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!
John Keats
Image
Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject.
John Keats
Image
I have good reason to be content, for thank God I can read and perhaps understand Shakespeare to his depths.
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
That queen of secrecy, the violet.
John Keats
Image
I will imagine you Venus tonight and pray, pray, pray to your star like a Heathen.
John Keats
Image
The Public - a thing I cannot help looking upon as an enemy, and which I cannot address without feelings of hostility.
John Keats
Image
Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream, And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by? ---On death
