More quotes by John Keats

Image
A man's life of any worth is a continual allegory, and very few eyes can see the mystery of his life, a life like the scriptures, figurative.
John Keats
Image
Here lies one whose name was writ in water.
John Keats
Image
Philosophy will clip an angel's wings, Conquer all mysteries by rule and line, Empty the haunted air, and gnomed mine - Unweave a rainbow.
John Keats
Image
The silver, snarling trumpets 'gan to chide.
John Keats
Image
In a drear-nighted December, Too happy, happy tree, Thy branches ne'er remember Their green felicity.
John Keats
Image
Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves And mid-May's eldest child, The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves.
John Keats
Image
Dancing music, music sad, Both together, sane and mad.
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
I don't need the stars in the night I found my treasure All I need is you by my side so shine forever
John Keats

I see a lily on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever dew And on thy cheek a fading rose Fast withereth too.
John Keats
Image
But the rose leaves herself upon the brier, For winds to kiss and grateful bees to feed.
John Keats
Image
When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st, Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
John Keats
Image
Scenery is fine - but human nature is finer.
John Keats
Image
Where are the songs of Spring? Aye, where are they? Think not of them thou has thy music too.
John Keats
Image
If I should die, I have left no immortal work behind me — nothing to make my friends proud of my memory — but I have loved the principle of beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself remembered.
John Keats
Image
it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.
John Keats
Image
A little noiseless noise among the leaves, Born of the very sigh that silence heaves.
John Keats
Image
The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.
John Keats
Image
Love in a hut, with water and a crust, Is - Love, forgive us! - cinders, ashes, dust.
John Keats
Image
I shall soon be laid in the quiet grave--thank God for the quiet grave--O! I can feel the cold earth upon me--the daisies growing over me--O for this quiet--it will be my first.
John Keats
