The genius of Shakespeare was an innate university.
John Keats

John Keats
Image
I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.
John Keats

But let me see thee stoop from heaven on wings That fill the sky with silver glitterings!
John Keats
Image
My mind has been the most discontented and restless one that ever was put into a body too small for it.... I never felt my mind repose upon anything with complete and undistracted enjoyment- upon no person but you. When you are in the room my thoughts never fly out of window: you always concentrate my whole senses
John Keats
Image
It can be said of him, when he departed he took a Man's life with him. No sounder piece of British manhood was put together in that eighteenth century of Time.
John Keats
Image
I will imagine you Venus tonight and pray, pray, pray to your star like a Heathen.
John Keats
Image
You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I was dissolving.
John Keats
Image
But the rose leaves herself upon the brier, For winds to kiss and grateful bees to feed.

That queen of secrecy, the violet.
