John Keats
Image
I myself am pursuing the same instinctive course as the veriest human animal you can think of I am, however young, writing at random straining at particles of light in the midst of a great darkness without knowing the bearing of any one assertion, of any one opinion. Yet may I not in this be free from sin?
John Keats
Image

John Keats
Image
I find I cannot exist without Poetry
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 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
How sad it is when a luxurious imagination is obliged in self defense to deaden its delicacy in vulgarity, and riot in things attainable that it may not have leisure to go mad after things that are not.
John Keats
Image
Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success.
John Keats
Image
O, sorrow! Why dost borrow Heart's lightness from the merriment of May?
John Keats
Image
I would jump down Etna for any public good - but I hate a mawkish popularity.
John Keats
Image
Sweet are the pleasures that to verse belong, And doubly sweet a brotherhood in song.
John Keats
