Additional quotes by John Keats

And still she slept an azure-lidded sleep,
In blanched linen, smooth, and lavender'd.

A clammy dew is beading on my brow,
At mere remembering her pale laugh, and curse.
“Ha! ha! Sir Dainty! there must be a nurse
Made of rose leaves and thistledown, express,
To cradle thee my sweet, and lull thee: yes,
I am too flinty-hard for thy nice touch:
My tenderest squeeze is but a giant’s clutch.

Even now I am perhaps not speaking from myself: but from some character in whose soul I now live.
