O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!
John Keats
Image
one of the most mysterious of semi-speculations is, one would suppose, that of one Mind's imagining into another
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.

Philosophy will clip an angel's wings, Conquer all mysteries by rule and line, Empty the haunted air, and gnomed mine - Unweave a rainbow.

He ne'er is crowned with immortality Who fears to follow where airy voices lead.
John Keats
Image
O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap Of murky buildings: climb with me the steep,-- Nature's observatory--whence the dell, In flowery slopes, its river's crystal swell, May seem a span let me thy vigils keep 'Mongst boughs pavilion'd, where the deer's swift leap Startles the wild bee from the foxglove bell.

Why employ intelligent and highly paid ambassadors and then go and do their work for them? You don't buy a canary and sing yourself.
John Keats
Image
And how they kist each other's tremulous eyes.
John Keats
Image
Darkling I listen and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Called him soft names in many a muse' d rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy!
John Keats
Image
Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget.
John Keats
Image
Even bees, the little almsmen of spring bowers, know there is richest juice in poison-flowers.
John Keats
Image
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies when a new planet swims into his ken.
John Keats
Image
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
John Keats
Image
The poetry of the earth is never dead.
