Additional quotes by John Keats

Shed no tear! O shed no tear!
The flower will bloom another year.
Weep no more! O weep no more!
Young buds sleep in the root's white core.

My love is selfish. I cannot breathe without you.

Wherein lies happiness? In that which becks
Our ready minds to fellowship divine,
A fellowship with essence; till we shine,
Full alchemiz’d, and free of space. Behold
The clear religion of heaven!

O for ten years, that I may overwhelm Myself in poesy; so I may do the deed That my own soul has to itself decreed. - John Keats
