Image
The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing, to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts.
John Keats
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
Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes.
John Keats
Image
Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art-- Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night And watching, with eternal lids apart, Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite.
John Keats
Image
Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades Past the near meadows, over the still stream, Up the hill-side and now 'tis buried deep In the next valley-glades: Was it a vision, or a waking dream? Fled is that music:--do I wake or sleep?
John Keats
Image
Through buried paths, where sleepy twilight dreams The summer time away.
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
There is an awful warmth about my heart like a load of immortality.
John Keats
Image
... the open sky sits upon our senses like a sapphire crown - the Air is our robe of state - the Earth is our throne, and the Sea a mighty minstrel playing before it.
John Keats
Image
No stir of air was there, Not so much life as on a summer's day Robs not one light seed from the feather'd grass, But where the dead leaf fell, there did it rest.
John Keats
Image
I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.
John Keats
Image
Severn - I - lift me up - I am dying - I shall die easy don't be frightened - be firm, and thank God it has come.
John Keats
Image
Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.
John Keats
Image
Feeling well that breathed words Would all be lost, unheard, and vain as swords Against the enchased crocodile, or leaps Of grasshoppers against the sun.
John Keats
Image
We have woven a web, you and I, attached to this world but a separate world of our own invention.
John Keats
Image
It keeps eternal whisperings around desolate shores
John Keats
Image
The Public - a thing I cannot help looking upon as an enemy, and which I cannot address without feelings of hostility.
John Keats
Image
Love in a hut, with water and a crust, Is - Love, forgive us! - cinders, ashes, dust.
John Keats
Image
There is a budding tomorrow in midnight.
John Keats
Image
I love your hills and I love your dales, And I love your flocks a-bleating but oh, on the heather to lie together, With both our hearts a-beating!
John Keats
