Image
O aching time! O moments big as years!
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.

O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!
John Keats
Image
Time, that aged nurse, Rocked me to patience.
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
The thought, the deadly thought of solitude.
John Keats
Image
Knowledge enormous makes a god of me.
John Keats
Image
one of the most mysterious of semi-speculations is, one would suppose, that of one Mind's imagining into another
John Keats
Image
My mind has been the most discontented and restless one that ever was put into a body too small for it.... I never felt my mind repose upon anything with complete and undistracted enjoyment- upon no person but you. When you are in the room my thoughts never fly out of window: you always concentrate my whole senses
