Who would wish to be among the commonplace crowd of the little famous - who are each individually lost in a throng made up of themselves?
John Keats
Image
Whatever the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth -whether it existed before or not
John Keats

The thought, the deadly thought of solitude.

Its better to lose your ego to the One you Love than to lose the One you Love to your Ego
John Keats
Image
Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream, And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by? ---On death
John Keats
Image
