Quote

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
Sweet are the pleasures that to verse belong, And doubly sweet a brotherhood in song.
John Keats
Image
And there shall be for thee all soft delight That shadowy thought can win, A bright torch, and a casement ope at night, To let the warm Love in!
John Keats
Image
And shade the violets, That they may bind the moss in leafy nets.
John Keats
Image
Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves And mid-May's eldest child, The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves.

I am sailing with thee through the dizzy sky! How beautiful thou art!
