More quotes by John Keats

Image
Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity, it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.
John Keats
Image
Even bees, the little almsmen of spring bowers, know there is richest juice in poison-flowers.
John Keats
Image
No one can usurp the heights... But those to whom the miseries of the world Are misery, and will not let them rest.
John Keats
Image
If I should die, I have left no immortal work behind me — nothing to make my friends proud of my memory — but I have loved the principle of beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself remembered.
John Keats
Image
Let us away, my love, with happy speed There are no ears to hear, or eyes to see, - Drown'd all in Rhenish and the sleepy mead. Awake! arise! my love and fearless be, For o'er the southern moors I have a home for thee.
John Keats
Image
Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject.
John Keats
Image
With a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration.
John Keats
Image
Their woes gone by, and both to heaven upflown, To bow for gratitude before Jove's throne.
John Keats
Image
Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art-- Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night And watching, with eternal lids apart, Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite.
John Keats
Image
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face, Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance, And think that I may never live to trace Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance.
John Keats
Image
I am convinced more and more day by day that fine writing is next to fine doing, the top thing in the world.
John Keats
Image
So, when dark thoughts my boding spirit shroud, Sweet Hope! celestial influence round me shed Waving thy silver pinions o'er my head.
John Keats
Image
The uttered part of a man's life, let us always repeat, bears to the unuttered, unconscious part a small unknown proportion. He himself never knows it, much less do others.
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
So rainbow-sided, touch'd with miseries, She seem'd, at once, some penanced lady elf, Some demon's mistress, or the demon's self.
John Keats
Image
Sudden a thought came like a full-blown rose, Flushing his brow.
John Keats
Image
The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing, to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts.
John Keats
Image
Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience.
John Keats
Image
When I have fears that I may ceace to be, Before my pen has gleaned my teaming brain.
John Keats
Image
I have met with women whom I really think would like to be married to a Poem and to be given away by a Novel.
