Image
Sometimes goldfinches one by one will drop From low hung branches little space they stop But sip, and twitter, and their feathers sleek Then off at once, as in a wanton freak: Or perhaps, to show their black, and golden wings Pausing upon their yellow flutterings.
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
Like a mermaid in sea-weed, she dreams awake, trembling in her soft and chilly nest.

Image
Music's golden tongue Flatter'd to tears this aged man and poor.

John Keats
Image
That queen of secrecy, the violet.
John Keats
Image
You speak of Lord Byron and me there is this great difference between us. He describes what he sees I describe what I imagine. Mine is the hardest task.
John Keats
Image
There is an awful warmth about my heart like a load of immortality.
John Keats
Image
She press'd his hand in slumber so once more He could not help but kiss her and adore.
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
Let us open our leaves like a flower, and be passive and receptive.

Stop and consider! life is but a day
