Quote

Parting they seemed to tread upon the air, Twin roses by the zephyr blown apart Only to meet again more close.

Image
Ay, on the shores of darkness there is a light, and precipices show untrodden green there is a budding morrow in midnight there is triple sight in blindness keen.
John Keats
Image
It keeps eternal whisperings around desolate shores
John Keats
Image
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
Image
Nothing is finer for the purposes of great productions than a very gradual ripening of the intellectual powers.
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
You speak of Lord Byron and me there is this great difference between us. He describes what he sees I describe what I imagine. Mine is the hardest task.
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
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
It ought to come like the leaves to the trees, or it better not come at all.
John Keats
Image
Open afresh your rounds of starry folds, Ye ardent Marigolds.
John Keats
Image
My love is selfish. I cannot breathe without you.
John Keats
Image
--then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone, and think Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.
John Keats
Image
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart’s affections and the truth of the Imagination – What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth – whether it existed before or not – for I have the same Idea of all our Passions as of Love they are all in their sublime, creative of essential Beauty . . .
John Keats
Image
I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.
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
How beautiful, if sorrow had not made Sorrow more beautiful than Beauty's self.
John Keats
Image
If I should die, I have left no immortal work behind me — nothing to make my friends proud of my memory — but I have loved the principle of beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself remembered.
John Keats
Image
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains/ My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk.
John Keats
Image
Everything that reminds me of her goes through me like a spear.
