Then felt I like some watcher of the skies when a new planet swims into his ken.
John Keats

Its better to lose your ego to the One you Love than to lose the One you Love to your Ego
John Keats

Four seasons fill the measure of the year there are four seasons in the minds of men.
John Keats
Image
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

When I have fears that I may ceace to be, Before my pen has gleaned my teaming brain.
John Keats

Nothing is finer for the purposes of great productions than a very gradual ripening of the intellectual powers.
John Keats
Image
Knowledge enormous makes a God of me. Names, deeds, gray legends, dire events, rebellions, Majesties, sovran voices, agonies, Creations and destroyings, all at once Pour into the wide hollows of my brain, And deify me, as if some blithe wine Or bright elixir peerless I had drunk, And so become immortal.
John Keats
Image
...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.
