John Keats Quotes

There is nothing stable in the world; uproar's your only music.

Now a soft kiss - Aye, by that kiss, I vow an endless bliss.

Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one!

Here lies one whose name was writ on water.

The excellence of every Art is its intensity.

If poetry comes not as naturally as the leaves to a tree it had better not come at all.

My mind has been the most discontented and restless one that ever was put into a body too small for it.

O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell,
Let it not be among the jumbled heap
Of murky buildings; climb with me the steep, — Nature’s observatory — whence the dell,
Its flowery slopes, its river’s crystal swell,
May seem a span; let me thy vigils keep
’Mongst boughs pavillion’d, where the deer’s swift leap
Startles the wild bee from the fox-glove bell.
But though I’ll gladly trace these scenes with thee,
Yet the sweet converse of an innocent mind,
Whose words are images of thoughts refin’d,
Is my soul’s pleasure; and it sure must be
Almost the highest bliss of human-kind,
When to thy haunts two kindred spirits flee.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever:
Its loveliness increases;
It will never
Pass into nothingness.

I wish to believe in immortality-I wish to live with you forever.

O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!

Dancing music, music sad,
Both together, sane and mad…

You cannot conceive how I ache to be with you: how I would die for one hour...

I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.

You are always new. THe last of your kisses was ever the sweetest; the last smile the brightest; the last movement the gracefullest. When you pass'd my window home yesterday, I was fill'd with as much admiration as if I had then seen you for the first time...Even if you did not love me I could not help an entire devotion to you.
