John Keats
Image
Many have original minds who do not think it - they are led away by custom!
John Keats
Image
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart’s affections and the truth of the Imagination – What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth – whether it existed before or not – for I have the same Idea of all our Passions as of Love they are all in their sublime, creative of essential Beauty . . .

Dancing music, music sad, Both together, sane and mad.
John Keats
Image
Fanatics have their dreams, wherewith they weave a paradise for a sect.
John Keats
