Additional quotes by John Keats

It ought to come like the leaves to the trees, or it better not come at all.

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

Who are these coming to the sacrifice?
To what green altar, O mysterious priest,
Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,
And all her silken flanks with garlands drest?
