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
O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!
John Keats
Image
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
Image
There is an awful warmth about my heart like a load of immortality.
John Keats
Image
Every mental pursuit takes its reality and worth from the ardour of the pursuer.
John Keats

No, no, I'm sure, My restless spirit never could endure To brood so long upon one luxury, Unless it did, though fearfully, espy A hope beyond the shadow of a dream.
John Keats
