More quotes by John Keats
Souls of poets dead and gone, What Elysium have ye known, Happy field or mossy cavern, Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern? Have ye tippled drink more fine Than mine host's Canary wine?
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
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion-- I have shuddered at it, I shudder no more. I could be martyred for my religion. Love is my religion and I could die for that. I could die for you. My Creed is Love and you are its only tenet.
John Keats
We have woven a web, you and I, attached to this world but a separate world of our own invention.
John Keats
The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft and gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
John Keats
Faded the flower and all its budded charms,Faded the sight of beauty from my eyes,Faded the shape of beauty from my arms,Faded the voice, warmth, whiteness, paradise!Vanishd unseasonably
John Keats
To stay youthful, stay useful.
