More quotes by John Keats
Where are the songs of Spring? Aye, where are they? Think not of them thou has thy music too.
John Keats
It is a flaw In happiness to see beyond our bourn, - It forces us in summer skies to mourn, It spoils the singing of the nightingale.
John Keats

John Keats
Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.
John Keats
All writing is a form of prayer.
John Keats
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

John Keats

John Keats
Sometimes goldfinches one by one will drop From low hung branches little space they stop But sip, and twitter, and their feathers sleek Then off at once, as in a wanton freak: Or perhaps, to show their black, and golden wings Pausing upon their yellow flutterings.
John Keats
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains/ My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk.
John Keats
Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience.
John Keats
There is nothing stable in the world uproar's your only music.
John Keats
You are always new to me.
John Keats
Philosophy will clip an angel's wings.
John Keats
Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget.
John Keats
I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.
John Keats
