More quotes by John Keats
When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st, Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
John Keats
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
Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success.
John Keats
A poet is the most unpoetical of anything in existence because he has no identity he is continually informing and filling some other body.
John Keats
You are always new to me.
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
The world is too brutal for me-I am glad there is such a thing as the grave-I am sure I shall never have any rest till I get there.
John Keats
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart’s affections and the truth of the Imagination – What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth – whether it existed before or not – for I have the same Idea of all our Passions as of Love they are all in their sublime, creative of essential Beauty . . .
John Keats
No stir of air was there, Not so much life as on a summer's day Robs not one light seed from the feather'd grass, But where the dead leaf fell, there did it rest.
John Keats
I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top.
John Keats
Here lies one whose name was writ in water.
John Keats
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
John Keats
Now a soft kiss - Aye, by that kiss, I vow an endless bliss.
John Keats
And shade the violets, That they may bind the moss in leafy nets.
John Keats
What shocks the virtuous philosopher, delights the chameleon poet.
John Keats
O let me lead her gently o'er the brook, Watch her half-smiling lips and downward look O let me for one moment touch her wrist Let me one moment to her breathing list And as she leaves me, may she often turn Her fair eyes looking through her locks auburne.
John Keats
... 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
Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.
John Keats
Works of genius are the first things in the world.
John Keats
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
