More quotes by 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
How sad it is when a luxurious imagination is obliged in self defense to deaden its delicacy in vulgarity, and riot in things attainable that it may not have leisure to go mad after things that are not.
John Keats
Image
Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream, And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by? ---On death
John Keats
Image
A man should have the fine point of his soul taken off to become fit for this world.
John Keats
Image
There is a budding tomorrow in midnight.
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
The air is all softness.

Image
O aching time! O moments big as years!

John Keats
Image
O fret not after knowledge - I have none, and yet my song comes native with the warmth. O fret not after knowledge - I have none, and yet the Evening listens.
John Keats
Image
I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.
John Keats
Image
Nothing is finer for the purposes of great productions than a very gradual ripening of the intellectual powers.
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
I wish you could invent some means to make me at all happy without you. Every hour I am more and more concentrated in you everything else tastes like chaff in my mouth.
John Keats
Image
What is there in thee, Moon! That thou should'st move My heart so potently?
John Keats
Image
My friends should drink a dozen of Claret on my Tomb.
John Keats
Image
No, no, I'm sure, My restless spirit never could endure To brood so long upon one luxury, Unless it did, though fearfully, espy A hope beyond the shadow of a dream.
John Keats
Image
A poet without love were a physical and metaphysical impossibility.
John Keats
Image
I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.
John Keats
