More quotes by John Keats
... 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
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
A man should have the fine point of his soul taken off to become fit for this world.
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
one of the most mysterious of semi-speculations is, one would suppose, that of one Mind's imagining into another
John Keats
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
You are always new to me.
John Keats
I will imagine you Venus tonight and pray, pray, pray to your star like a Heathen.
John Keats
O aching time! O moments big as years!
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
Load every rift with ore.
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
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
What shocks the virtuous philosopher, delights the chameleon poet.
John Keats
The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft and gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
John Keats
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
As the Swiss inscription says: Sprechen ist silbern, Schweigen ist golden,- Speech is silvern, Silence is golden or, as I might rather express it, Speech is of Time, Silence is of Eternity.
John Keats
I should write for the mere yearning and fondness I have for the beautiful, even if my night's labors should be burnt every morning and no eye shine upon them.
John Keats
Time, that aged nurse, Rocked me to patience.
John Keats
So rainbow-sided, touch'd with miseries, She seem'd, at once, some penanced lady elf, Some demon's mistress, or the demon's self.
John Keats
