Additional quotes by John Keats

Alas! when passion is both meek and wild!

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

Sweet are the pleasures that to verse belong,
And doubly sweet a brotherhood in song.

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on. - John Keats
