Additional quotes by John Keats

I see a lily on thy brow,
With anguish moist and fever dew;
And on thy cheek a fading rose
Fast withereth too.

Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?

There was an awful rainbow once in heaven:
We know her woof, her texture; she is given
In the dull catalogue of common things.
Philosophy will clip an Angel's wings,
Conquer all mysteries by rule and line,
Empty the haunted air, and gnomed mine — Unweave a rainbow, as it erewhile made
The tender-person'd Lamia melt into a shade.
