John Keats
Image
It keeps eternal whisperings around desolate shores
John Keats
Image
Fanatics have their dreams, wherewith they weave a paradise for a sect.
John Keats
Image
Souls of poets dead and gone, What Elysium have ye known, Happy field or mossy cavern, Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern? Have ye tippled drink more fine Than mine host's Canary wine?
John Keats
Image
Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience.
John Keats
Image
I would jump down Etna for any public good - but I hate a mawkish popularity.
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
The thought, the deadly thought of solitude.
John Keats
Image
O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap Of murky buildings: climb with me the steep,-- Nature's observatory--whence the dell, In flowery slopes, its river's crystal swell, May seem a span let me thy vigils keep 'Mongst boughs pavilion'd, where the deer's swift leap Startles the wild bee from the foxglove bell.
John Keats
Image

John Keats
Image
The poetry of the earth is never dead.
John Keats
Image
What is there in thee, Moon! That thou should'st move My heart so potently?
John Keats
Image
I am sailing with thee through the dizzy sky! How beautiful thou art!
John Keats
Image
The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted: thence proceeds mawkishness.
John Keats
Image
To one who has been long in city pent, ’Tis very sweet to look into the fair And open face of heaven, — to breathe a prayer Full in the smile of the blue firmament.
John Keats
Image
Shed no tear - O, shed no tear! The flower will bloom another year. Weep no more - O, weep no more! Young buds sleep in the root's white core.
John Keats
Image
I have good reason to be content, for thank God I can read and perhaps understand Shakespeare to his depths.
John Keats
Image
O aching time! O moments big as years!
John Keats
Image
Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time.
John Keats
Image
I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.
John Keats
