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?

To bear all naked truths, And to envisage circumstance, all calm, That is the top of sovereignty
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
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination.
John Keats
Image
Music's golden tongue Flatter'd to tears this aged man and poor.
John Keats
Image
O, sorrow! Why dost borrow Heart's lightness from the merriment of May?
John Keats
Image
There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify - so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it, as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish.
John Keats
Image
I never can feel certain of any truth, but from a clear perception of its beauty.
John Keats
Image
Darkling I listen and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Called him soft names in many a muse' d rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy!
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
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter therefore, ye soft pipes, play on Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd, Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone.
John Keats
Image
Four seasons fill the measure of the year there are four seasons in the minds of men.
John Keats
Image
Scenery is fine - but human nature is finer.
John Keats
Image
But let me see thee stoop from heaven on wings That fill the sky with silver glitterings!
John Keats
Image
An extensive knowledge is needful to thinking people-it takes away the heat and fever and helps, by widening speculation, to ease the burden of the mystery.
John Keats
Image
I don't need the stars in the night I found my treasure All I need is you by my side so shine forever
John Keats
Image
So, when dark thoughts my boding spirit shroud, Sweet Hope! celestial influence round me shed Waving thy silver pinions o'er my head.
John Keats
Image
Knowledge enormous makes a god of me.
John Keats
Image
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
John Keats
Image
The air is all softness.
John Keats
Image
Like a mermaid in sea-weed, she dreams awake, trembling in her soft and chilly nest.
