More quotes by John Keats
Shed no tear - O, shed no tear! The flower will bloom another year. Weep no more - O, weep no more! Young buds sleep in the root's white core.
John Keats
Talking of Pleasure, this moment I was writing with one hand, and with the other holding to my Mouth a Nectarine - how good how fine. It went down all pulpy, slushy, oozy, all its delicious embonpoint melted down my throat like a large, beatified Strawberry.
John Keats
Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works.
John Keats
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter therefore, ye soft pipes, play on Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd, Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone.
John Keats
The thought, the deadly thought of solitude.
John Keats
You are always new to me.
John Keats
There is a budding tomorrow in midnight.
John Keats
How beautiful, if sorrow had not made Sorrow more beautiful than Beauty's self.
John Keats
Sweet are the pleasures that to verse belong, And doubly sweet a brotherhood in song.
John Keats
Pensive they sit, and roll their languid eyes.
John Keats
It keeps eternal whisperings around desolate shores
John Keats
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
Ay, on the shores of darkness there is a light, and precipices show untrodden green there is a budding morrow in midnight there is triple sight in blindness keen.
John Keats
My love is selfish. I cannot breathe without you.
John Keats
The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted: thence proceeds mawkishness.
John Keats
But let me see thee stoop from heaven on wings That fill the sky with silver glitterings!
John Keats
O aching time! O moments big as years!
John Keats
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
Stop and consider! life is but a day
John Keats
I will imagine you Venus tonight and pray, pray, pray to your star like a Heathen.
John Keats
