Image
There is an awful warmth about my heart like a load of immortality.
John Keats
Image
I have loved the principle of beauty in all things.
John Keats
Image
I myself am pursuing the same instinctive course as the veriest human animal you can think of I am, however young, writing at random straining at particles of light in the midst of a great darkness without knowing the bearing of any one assertion, of any one opinion. Yet may I not in this be free from sin?
John Keats
Image
To stay youthful, stay useful.
John Keats
Image
Knowledge enormous makes a god of me.
John Keats
Image
The poetry of earth is never dead When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, And hide I cooling trees, a voice will run From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead.
John Keats
Image

John Keats
Image
It keeps eternal whisperings around desolate shores
John Keats
Image
Load every rift with ore.
John Keats
Image
Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves And mid-May's eldest child, The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves.
John Keats
Image
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart’s affections and the truth of the Imagination – What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth – whether it existed before or not – for I have the same Idea of all our Passions as of Love they are all in their sublime, creative of essential Beauty . . .
John Keats
Image
Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art-- Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night And watching, with eternal lids apart, Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite.
John Keats
Image
My imagination is a monastery and I am its monk.
John Keats
Image
No, no, I'm sure, My restless spirit never could endure To brood so long upon one luxury, Unless it did, though fearfully, espy A hope beyond the shadow of a dream.
John Keats
Image
Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades Past the near meadows, over the still stream, Up the hill-side and now 'tis buried deep In the next valley-glades: Was it a vision, or a waking dream? Fled is that music:--do I wake or sleep?
John Keats
Image
O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!
John Keats
Image
Even bees, the little almsmen of spring bowers, know there is richest juice in poison-flowers.
John Keats
Image
How does the poet speak to men with power, but by being still more a man than they
John Keats
Image
I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top.
John Keats
Image
Every mental pursuit takes its reality and worth from the ardour of the pursuer.
John Keats
