More quotes by John Keats

John Keats
I see a lily on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever dew And on thy cheek a fading rose Fast withereth too.
John Keats
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
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies when a new planet swims into his ken.
John Keats
The silver, snarling trumpets 'gan to chide.
John Keats
Feeling well that breathed words Would all be lost, unheard, and vain as swords Against the enchased crocodile, or leaps Of grasshoppers against the sun.
John Keats

John Keats
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
The day is gone, and all its sweets are gone!
John Keats
Music's golden tongue Flatter'd to tears this aged man and poor.
John Keats
In a drear-nighted December, Too happy, happy tree, Thy branches ne'er remember Their green felicity.
John Keats
Philosophy will clip an angel's wings, Conquer all mysteries by rule and line, Empty the haunted air, and gnomed mine - Unweave a rainbow.
John Keats
Through buried paths, where sleepy twilight dreams The summer time away.
John Keats
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination.
John Keats
You speak of Lord Byron and me there is this great difference between us. He describes what he sees I describe what I imagine. Mine is the hardest task.
John Keats
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
Sweet are the pleasures that to verse belong, And doubly sweet a brotherhood in song.
John Keats
Who would wish to be among the commonplace crowd of the little famous - who are each individually lost in a throng made up of themselves?
John Keats
The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft and gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
