Here lies one whose name was writ in water.
John Keats
Image
Parting they seemed to tread upon the air, Twin roses by the zephyr blown apart Only to meet again more close.
John Keats
Image
Who would wish to be among the commonplace crowd of the little famous - who are each individually lost in a throng made up of themselves?
John Keats
Image
With a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration.
John Keats
Image
I am convinced more and more day by day that fine writing is next to fine doing, the top thing in the world.
John Keats
Image
Let us away, my love, with happy speed There are no ears to hear, or eyes to see, - Drown'd all in Rhenish and the sleepy mead. Awake! arise! my love and fearless be, For o'er the southern moors I have a home for thee.
John Keats
Image

John Keats
Image
I will imagine you Venus tonight and pray, pray, pray to your star like a Heathen.
John Keats
Image

John Keats

John Keats
Image
What shocks the virtuous philosopher, delights the chameleon poet.
John Keats
Image
In a drear-nighted December, Too happy, happy brook, Thy bubblings ne'er remember Apollo's summer look But with a sweet forgetting, They stay their crystal fretting, Never, never petting About the frozen time.
John Keats
Image
When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st, Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
John Keats
Image
O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!
John Keats
Image
It appears to me that almost any man may like the spider spin from his own inwards his own airy citadel.
John Keats
Image
I see a lily on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever dew And on thy cheek a fading rose Fast withereth too.
John Keats
Image
There is an awful warmth about my heart like a load of immortality.
John Keats
Image
I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top.
John Keats
Image
How beautiful, if sorrow had not made Sorrow more beautiful than Beauty's self.
John Keats
Image
No one can usurp the heights... But those to whom the miseries of the world Are misery, and will not let them rest.
John Keats
