... 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
Like a mermaid in sea-weed, she dreams awake, trembling in her soft and chilly nest.
John Keats
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter therefore, ye soft pipes, play on Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd, Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone.
John Keats
Nothing is finer for the purposes of great productions than a very gradual ripening of the intellectual powers.
John Keats
Their woes gone by, and both to heaven upflown, To bow for gratitude before Jove's throne.
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
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
To stay youthful, stay useful.
John Keats
Whatever the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth -whether it existed before or not
John Keats
Music's golden tongue Flatter'd to tears this aged man and poor.
John Keats
My imagination is a monastery and I am its monk.
John Keats
Knowledge enormous makes a god of me.
John Keats
Severn - I - lift me up - I am dying - I shall die easy don't be frightened - be firm, and thank God it has come.
John Keats
Through buried paths, where sleepy twilight dreams The summer time away.
John Keats
I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top.
John Keats
You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I was dissolving.
John Keats
My mind has been the most discontented and restless one that ever was put into a body too small for it.... I never felt my mind repose upon anything with complete and undistracted enjoyment- upon no person but you. When you are in the room my thoughts never fly out of window: you always concentrate my whole senses
John Keats
Philosophy will clip an angel's wings, Conquer all mysteries by rule and line, Empty the haunted air, and gnomed mine - Unweave a rainbow.
John Keats
To one who has been long in city pent, ’Tis very sweet to look into the fair And open face of heaven, — to breathe a prayer Full in the smile of the blue firmament.
John Keats
Darkling I listen and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Called him soft names in many a muse' d rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy!
John Keats
A moment's thought is passion's passing knell.
John Keats
