There is a budding tomorrow in midnight.
John Keats

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
Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips, bidding adieu
John Keats
Image
I love your hills and I love your dales, And I love your flocks a-bleating but oh, on the heather to lie together, With both our hearts a-beating!
John Keats
Image
It keeps eternal whisperings around desolate shores
John Keats
Image
Whatever the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth -whether it existed before or not
John Keats
Image
Now a soft kiss - Aye, by that kiss, I vow an endless bliss.
John Keats
Image
--then on the shore Of the wide world I stand alone, and think Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.
John Keats

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination.
