More quotes by John Keats
Let us open our leaves like a flower, and be passive and receptive.
John Keats
No sooner had I stepp'd into these pleasures Than I began to think of rhymes and measures: The air that floated by me seem'd to say 'Write! thou wilt never have a better day.
John Keats
How beautiful, if sorrow had not made Sorrow more beautiful than Beauty's self.
John Keats
I have loved the principle of beauty in all things.
John Keats
Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes.
John Keats
Talking of Pleasure, this moment I was writing with one hand, and with the other holding to my Mouth a Nectarine - how good how fine. It went down all pulpy, slushy, oozy, all its delicious embonpoint melted down my throat like a large, beatified Strawberry.
John Keats
It ought to come like the leaves to the trees, or it better not come at all.
John Keats
Blessed is the healthy nature it is the coherent, sweetly co-operative, not incoherent, self-distracting, self-destructive one!
John Keats
I am convinced more and more day by day that fine writing is next to fine doing, the top thing in the world.
John Keats
The poetry of earth is never dead When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, And hide I cooling trees, a voice will run From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead.
John Keats
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
As the Swiss inscription says: Sprechen ist silbern, Schweigen ist golden,- Speech is silvern, Silence is golden or, as I might rather express it, Speech is of Time, Silence is of Eternity.
John Keats
I have good reason to be content, for thank God I can read and perhaps understand Shakespeare to his depths.
John Keats
The genius of Shakespeare was an innate university.
John Keats
Call the world if you please the vale of soul-making. Then you will find out the use of the world.
John Keats
I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.
John Keats
O, sorrow! Why dost borrow Heart's lightness from the merriment of May?
John Keats
An extensive knowledge is needful to thinking people-it takes away the heat and fever and helps, by widening speculation, to ease the burden of the mystery.
John Keats
Knowledge enormous makes a god of me.
John Keats
You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I was dissolving.
John Keats
