The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.
John Keats
Image
Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream, And scenes of bliss pass as a phantom by? ---On death
John Keats

A poet is the most unpoetical of anything in existence because he has no identity he is continually informing and filling some other body.
John Keats
Image
There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify - so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it, as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish.
John Keats
Image

Dry your eyes O dry your eyes, For I was taught in Paradise To ease my breast of melodies.
John Keats

John Keats
Image
I have met with women whom I really think would like to be married to a Poem and to be given away by a Novel.

John Keats
Image
... the open sky sits upon our senses like a sapphire crown - the Air is our robe of state - the Earth is our throne, and the Sea a mighty minstrel playing before it.
John Keats
Image
I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.
John Keats
Image
He ne'er is crowned with immortality Who fears to follow where airy voices lead.
John Keats
Image
I Cannot Exist Without You. I Am Forgetful Of Everything But Seeing You Again.
John Keats
Image
Sudden a thought came like a full-blown rose, Flushing his brow.
John Keats
Image
Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades Past the near meadows, over the still stream, Up the hill-side and now 'tis buried deep In the next valley-glades: Was it a vision, or a waking dream? Fled is that music:--do I wake or sleep?
John Keats
Image
Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.
John Keats
Image
Music's golden tongue Flatter'd to tears this aged man and poor.
John Keats
Image
A long poem is a test of invention which I take to be the Polar star of poetry, as fancy is the sails, and imagination the rudder.
John Keats
Image
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains/ My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk.
John Keats
Image
I see a lily on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever dew And on thy cheek a fading rose Fast withereth too.
John Keats
