Image
The uttered part of a man's life, let us always repeat, bears to the unuttered, unconscious part a small unknown proportion. He himself never knows it, much less do others.
John Keats
Image
He ne'er is crowned with immortality Who fears to follow where airy voices lead.
John Keats
Image
Darkling I listen and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Called him soft names in many a muse' d rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy!
John Keats
Image
Severn - I - lift me up - I am dying - I shall die easy don't be frightened - be firm, and thank God it has come.

Through buried paths, where sleepy twilight dreams The summer time away.
John Keats

It can be said of him, when he departed he took a Man's life with him. No sounder piece of British manhood was put together in that eighteenth century of Time.
John Keats
Image
O, sorrow! Why dost borrow Heart's lightness from the merriment of May?
John Keats
Image
Everything that reminds me of her goes through me like a spear.
John Keats
Image
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
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
Even bees, the little almsmen of spring bowers, know there is richest juice in poison-flowers.
John Keats
Image
Four seasons fill the measure of the year there are four seasons in the minds of men.
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
Some say the world is a vale of tears, I say it is a place of soul-making.
John Keats
Image
Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.
