Image
Open afresh your rounds of starry folds, Ye ardent Marigolds.
John Keats
Image
Here are sweet peas, on tiptoe for a flight With wings of gentle flush o'er delicate white, And taper fingers catching at all things, To bind them all about with tiny rings.
John Keats
Image
--then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone, and think Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.
John Keats
Image
A drainless shower Of light is poesy: 'tis the supreme of power 'Tis might half slumbering on its own right arm.
John Keats
Image
'Tis the witching hour of night, Orbed is the moon and bright. And the stars they glisten, glisten, Seeming with bright eyes to listen- For what listen they?
John Keats
Image
...I leaped headlong into the Sea, and thereby have become more acquainted with the Soundings, the quicksands, and the rocks, than if I had stayed upon the green shore, and piped a silly pipe, and took tea and comfortable advice.

John Keats
Image
My mind has been the most discontented and restless one that ever was put into a body too small for it....

When you are in the room my thoughts never fly out of window: you always concentrate my whole senses
John Keats
Image
How does the poet speak to men with power, but by being still more a man than they
John Keats
Image
My love is selfish. I cannot breathe without you.
John Keats
Image
Let us open our leaves like a flower, and be passive and receptive.
John Keats
Image
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
Image
So, when dark thoughts my boding spirit shroud, Sweet Hope! celestial influence round me shed Waving thy silver pinions o'er my head.
John Keats
Image
Let us away, my love, with happy speed There are no ears to hear, or eyes to see, - Drown'd all in Rhenish and the sleepy mead. Awake! arise! my love and fearless be, For o'er the southern moors I have a home for thee.
John Keats
Image
But let me see thee stoop from heaven on wings That fill the sky with silver glitterings!
John Keats
Image
It keeps eternal whisperings around desolate shores
John Keats
Image
The world is too brutal for me-I am glad there is such a thing as the grave-I am sure I shall never have any rest till I get there.
