John Keats
Image
Parting they seemed to tread upon the air, Twin roses by the zephyr blown apart Only to meet again more close.
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.
John Keats
Image
I would jump down Etna for any public good - but I hate a mawkish popularity.
John Keats
Image
The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft and gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
