Image
I have so much of you in my heart.
John Keats
Image
Who would wish to be among the commonplace crowd of the little famous - who are each individually lost in a throng made up of themselves?
John Keats
Image
Their woes gone by, and both to heaven upflown, To bow for gratitude before Jove's throne.
John Keats
Image
No stir of air was there, Not so much life as on a summer's day Robs not one light seed from the feather'd grass, But where the dead leaf fell, there did it rest.
John Keats
Image
Feeling well that breathed words Would all be lost, unheard, and vain as swords Against the enchased crocodile, or leaps Of grasshoppers against the sun.
John Keats
Image
Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time.
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
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
We have woven a web, you and I, attached to this world but a separate world of our own invention.
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 find I cannot exist without Poetry
John Keats
Image
Many have original minds who do not think it - they are led away by custom!
John Keats
Image
was it a vision or a waking dream? Fled is that music--do I wake or sleep?
John Keats
Image
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies when a new planet swims into his ken.
John Keats
Image
And there shall be for thee all soft delight That shadowy thought can win, A bright torch, and a casement ope at night, To let the warm Love in!
John Keats
Image
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
Image
I shall soon be laid in the quiet grave--thank God for the quiet grave--O! I can feel the cold earth upon me--the daisies growing over me--O for this quiet--it will be my first.
John Keats
Image
Let us open our leaves like a flower, and be passive and receptive.
John Keats
Image
I love your hills and I love your dales, And I love your flocks a-bleating but oh, on the heather to lie together, With both our hearts a-beating!
John Keats
Image
Knowledge enormous makes a god of me.
