... 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

More quotes by John Keats
The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft and gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
John Keats
I am sailing with thee through the dizzy sky! How beautiful thou art!
John Keats
No one can usurp the heights... But those to whom the miseries of the world Are misery, and will not let them rest.
John Keats
O aching time! O moments big as years!
John Keats
Let us away, my love, with happy speed There are no ears to hear, or eyes to see, - Drown'd all in Rhenish and the sleepy mead. Awake! arise! my love and fearless be, For o'er the southern moors I have a home for thee.
John Keats
Music's golden tongue Flatter'd to tears this aged man and poor.
John Keats
It is a flaw In happiness to see beyond our bourn, - It forces us in summer skies to mourn, It spoils the singing of the nightingale.
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
When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st, Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
John Keats
You speak of Lord Byron and me there is this great difference between us. He describes what he sees I describe what I imagine. Mine is the hardest task.
John Keats
Dancing music, music sad, Both together, sane and mad.
John Keats
I have loved the principle of beauty in all things.
John Keats
Souls of poets dead and gone, What Elysium have ye known, Happy field or mossy cavern, Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern? Have ye tippled drink more fine Than mine host's Canary wine?
John Keats
...I leaped headlong into the Sea, and thereby have become more acquainted with the Soundings, the quicksands, and the rocks, than if I had stayed upon the green shore, and piped a silly pipe, and took tea and comfortable advice.
John Keats
An extensive knowledge is needful to thinking people-it takes away the heat and fever and helps, by widening speculation, to ease the burden of the mystery.
John Keats
My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains/ My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk.
John Keats
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
I have so much of you in my heart.
John Keats
The world is too brutal for me-I am glad there is such a thing as the grave-I am sure I shall never have any rest till I get there.
John Keats
With a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration.
John Keats
