John Keats
Image
...yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From out dark spirits.
John Keats

John Keats
Image
Philosophy will clip an angel's wings.
John Keats
Image
We have woven a web, you and I, attached to this world but a separate world of our own invention.
John Keats

Image
I shall soon be laid in the quiet grave--thank God for the quiet grave--O! I can feel the cold earth upon me--the daisies growing over me--O for this quiet--it will be my first.
John Keats
Image
The imagination of a boy is healthy, and the mature imagination of a man is healthy but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted: thence proceeds mawkishness.
John Keats
Image
Praise or blame has but a momentary effect on the man whose love of beauty in the abstract makes him a severe critic on his own works.
John Keats
Image
Who would wish to be among the commonplace crowd of the little famous - who are each individually lost in a throng made up of themselves?
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
Image
Now a soft kiss - Aye, by that kiss, I vow an endless bliss.
John Keats
Image
Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time.
John Keats
Image
To stay youthful, stay useful.
John Keats
Image
Then felt I like some watcher of the skies when a new planet swims into his ken.
John Keats
Image
Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success.
John Keats
Image
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
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
Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject.
