John Keats
Image
Four seasons fill the measure of the year there are four seasons in the minds of men.

John Keats
Image
She press'd his hand in slumber so once more He could not help but kiss her and adore.
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
All writing is a form of prayer.
John Keats
Image
Here are sweet peas, on tiptoe for a flight With wings of gentle flush o'er delicate white, And taper fingers catching at all things, To bind them all about with tiny rings.
John Keats
Image
There was an awful rainbow once in heaven: We know her woof, her texture she is given In the dull catalogue of common things. Philosophy will clip an angel's wings.
John Keats
Image
O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!
John Keats

John Keats
Image
O magic sleep! O comfortable bird, That broodest o'er the troubled sea of the mind Till it is hush'd and smooth!
John Keats
Image
The poetry of the earth is never dead.
John Keats
Image
'Tis the witching hour of night, Orbed is the moon and bright. And the stars they glisten, glisten, Seeming with bright eyes to listen- For what listen they?
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
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
Let us open our leaves like a flower, and be passive and receptive.
John Keats
Image
Every mental pursuit takes its reality and worth from the ardour of the pursuer.
John Keats
Image
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
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
