John Keats
Image
Nothing is finer for the purposes of great productions than a very gradual ripening of the intellectual powers.
John Keats
Image
Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject.
John Keats
Image

John Keats
