Image
The opinion I have of the generality of women--who appear to me as children to whom I would rather give a sugar plum than my time, forms a barrier against matrimony which I rejoice in.
John Keats
Image
And how they kist each other's tremulous eyes.
John Keats
Image
We must repeat the often repeated saying, that it is unworthy a religious man to view an irreligious one either with alarm or aversion, or with any other feeling than regret and hope and brotherly commiseration.
John Keats
Image
I don't need the stars in the night I found my treasure All I need is you by my side so shine forever
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
Works of genius are the first things in the world.
John Keats
Image
I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.
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
Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time.
John Keats
Image
Dry your eyes O dry your eyes, For I was taught in Paradise To ease my breast of melodies.
John Keats
Image
What is there in thee, Moon! That thou should'st move My heart so potently?
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
...yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From out dark spirits.
John Keats
Image
I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.
John Keats
Image
The air is all softness.
John Keats
Image
So, when dark thoughts my boding spirit shroud, Sweet Hope! celestial influence round me shed Waving thy silver pinions o'er my head.
John Keats
Image
The excellence of every Art is its intensity.
John Keats
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
I have so much of you in my heart.
John Keats
Image
Many have original minds who do not think it - they are led away by custom!
