More quotes by John Keats
The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind about nothing, to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts.
John Keats
A man's life of any worth is a continual allegory, and very few eyes can see the mystery of his life, a life like the scriptures, figurative.
John Keats
one of the most mysterious of semi-speculations is, one would suppose, that of one Mind's imagining into another
John Keats
If I should die, I have left no immortal work behind me — nothing to make my friends proud of my memory — but I have loved the principle of beauty in all things, and if I had had time I would have made myself remembered.
John Keats
And there shall be for thee all soft delight That shadowy thought can win, A bright torch, and a casement ope at night, To let the warm Love in!
John Keats
We must repeat the often repeated saying, that it is unworthy a religious man to view an irreligious one either with alarm or aversion, or with any other feeling than regret and hope and brotherly commiseration.
John Keats
Philosophy will clip an angel's wings.
John Keats
Sometimes goldfinches one by one will drop From low hung branches little space they stop But sip, and twitter, and their feathers sleek Then off at once, as in a wanton freak: Or perhaps, to show their black, and golden wings Pausing upon their yellow flutterings.
John Keats
A drainless shower Of light is poesy: 'tis the supreme of power 'Tis might half slumbering on its own right arm.
John Keats
Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards, And seal the hushed Casket of my Soul.
John Keats
Whatever the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth -whether it existed before or not
John Keats
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
O fret not after knowledge - I have none, and yet my song comes native with the warmth. O fret not after knowledge - I have none, and yet the Evening listens.
John Keats
Dry your eyes O dry your eyes, For I was taught in Paradise To ease my breast of melodies.
John Keats
But let me see thee stoop from heaven on wings That fill the sky with silver glitterings!
John Keats
Through buried paths, where sleepy twilight dreams The summer time away.
John Keats
Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, Alone and palely loitering?
John Keats
'Tis the witching hour of night, Orbed is the moon and bright. And the stars they glisten, glisten, Seeming with bright eyes to listen- For what listen they?
John Keats
The poetry of the earth is never dead.
John Keats
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart’s affections and the truth of the Imagination – What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth – whether it existed before or not – for I have the same Idea of all our Passions as of Love they are all in their sublime, creative of essential Beauty . . .
