Image
The uttered part of a man's life, let us always repeat, bears to the unuttered, unconscious part a small unknown proportion. He himself never knows it, much less do others.
John Keats
Image
Many have original minds who do not think it - they are led away by custom!
John Keats
Image
The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.
John Keats
Image
A little noiseless noise among the leaves, Born of the very sigh that silence heaves.
John Keats
Image
Dancing music, music sad, Both together, sane and mad.
John Keats
Image
I have so much of you in my heart.
John Keats
Image
Music's golden tongue Flatter'd to tears this aged man and poor.
John Keats
Image
I came to feel how far above All fancy, pride, and fickle maidenhood, All earthly pleasure, all imagined good, Was the warm tremble of a devout kiss.
John Keats
Image
The creature has a purpose, and his eyes are bright with it.
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
Parting they seemed to tread upon the air, Twin roses by the zephyr blown apart Only to meet again more close.
John Keats
Image
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
Image
It can be said of him, when he departed he took a Man's life with him. No sounder piece of British manhood was put together in that eighteenth century of Time.
John Keats
Image
It is a flaw In happiness to see beyond our bourn, - It forces us in summer skies to mourn, It spoils the singing of the nightingale.
John Keats
Image
Everything that reminds me of her goes through me like a spear.
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
Some say the world is a vale of tears, I say it is a place of soul-making.
John Keats
Image
Let us open our leaves like a flower, and be passive and receptive.
John Keats
Image
The world is too brutal for me-I am glad there is such a thing as the grave-I am sure I shall never have any rest till I get there.
John Keats
Image
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.
