Image
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion-- I have shuddered at it, I shudder no more. I could be martyred for my religion. Love is my religion and I could die for that. I could die for you. My Creed is Love and you are its only tenet.
John Keats
Image
Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.
John Keats
Image
Its better to lose your ego to the One you Love than to lose the One you Love to your Ego
John Keats
Image
The silver, snarling trumpets 'gan to chide.
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.

Image
And shade the violets, That they may bind the moss in leafy nets.
John Keats
Image
I myself am pursuing the same instinctive course as the veriest human animal you can think of I am, however young, writing at random straining at particles of light in the midst of a great darkness without knowing the bearing of any one assertion, of any one opinion. Yet may I not in this be free from sin?
John Keats
Image
O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!
John Keats
Image
Shed no tear - O, shed no tear! The flower will bloom another year. Weep no more - O, weep no more! Young buds sleep in the root's white core.
John Keats
Image
Dancing music, music sad, Both together, sane and mad.
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
No, no, I'm sure, My restless spirit never could endure To brood so long upon one luxury, Unless it did, though fearfully, espy A hope beyond the shadow of a dream.
John Keats
Image
You are always new. The last of your kisses was even the sweetest the last smile the brightest the last movement the gracefullest.
John Keats
Image
An extensive knowledge is needful to thinking people-it takes away the heat and fever and helps, by widening speculation, to ease the burden of the mystery.
John Keats
Image
With a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration.
John Keats
Image
Knowledge enormous makes a god of me.
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
How sad it is when a luxurious imagination is obliged in self defense to deaden its delicacy in vulgarity, and riot in things attainable that it may not have leisure to go mad after things that are not.
John Keats
Image
Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience.
