O let me lead her gently o'er the brook, Watch her half-smiling lips and downward look O let me for one moment touch her wrist Let me one moment to her breathing list And as she leaves me, may she often turn Her fair eyes looking through her locks auburne.

Some say the world is a vale of tears, I say it is a place of soul-making.
John Keats
Image
... Who alive can say 'Thou art no Poet - mayst not tell thy dreams'? Since every man whose soul is not a clod Hath visions, and would speak, if he had loved, And been well nurtured in his mother tongue.
John Keats
Image
To one who has been long in city pent, ’Tis very sweet to look into the fair And open face of heaven, β€” to breathe a prayer Full in the smile of the blue firmament.
John Keats
Image
If I should die, I have left no immortal work behind me β€” nothing to make my friends proud of my memory β€” but I have loved the principle of beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself remembered.
