Quote

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.

Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget.
John Keats
Image
... the open sky sits upon our senses like a sapphire crown - the Air is our robe of state - the Earth is our throne, and the Sea a mighty minstrel playing before it.
John Keats
Image
I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.
John Keats
Image
Dry your eyes O dry your eyes, For I was taught in Paradise To ease my breast of melodies.
John Keats
Image
Why employ intelligent and highly paid ambassadors and then go and do their work for them? You don't buy a canary and sing yourself.
John Keats
Image
Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, Alone and palely loitering?
John Keats

Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success.
John Keats
Image
The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted: thence proceeds mawkishness.
John Keats
Image
O magic sleep! O comfortable bird, That broodest o'er the troubled sea of the mind Till it is hush'd and smooth!
John Keats
Image

John Keats
Image
To stay youthful, stay useful.
John Keats
Image
I have loved the principle of beauty in all things.
John Keats
Image
The Public - a thing I cannot help looking upon as an enemy, and which I cannot address without feelings of hostility.
John Keats
Image
Music's golden tongue Flatter'd to tears this aged man and poor.
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
What is there in thee, Moon! That thou should'st move My heart so potently?
John Keats
Image
I myself am pursuing the same instinctive course as the veriest human animal you can think of I am, however young, writing at random straining at particles of light in the midst of a great darkness without knowing the bearing of any one assertion, of any one opinion. Yet may I not in this be free from sin?
John Keats
Image
The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.
John Keats
Image
You are always new. The last of your kisses was even the sweetest the last smile the brightest the last movement the gracefullest.
John Keats
