Additional quotes by John Keats

Nothing is finer for the purposes of great productions than a very gradual ripening of the intellectual powers.

A poem needs understaning through the senses. The point of diving in a lake, is not immediately to swim to the shore, but to be in the lake; to luxuriate in the sensation of water. You do not work the lake out, it is an experience beyond thought. Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept mystery.

Forlorn! the very word is like a bell
To toil me back from thee to my sole self!
