From a tree’s summit.

Additional quotes by John Keats

I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top.

O, what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has wither'd from the lake,
And no birds sing.

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.

Life is but a day; A fragile dew-drop on its perilous way From a tree’s summit. - John Keats
