John Keats quotes (26) As the Swiss inscription says: Sprechen ist silbern Schweigen ist golden Speech is silvern Silence is golden; or as I might rather express it Speech is of Time Silence is of Eternity. John Keats Category: Sick The only means of strengthening ones intellect is to make up ones mind about nothing to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts. Not a select party. John Keats Category: Intellect Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not by singularity; it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. John Keats Category: Poetry O for a life of sensations rather than of thoughts! John Keats Category: Feelings 'Beauty is truth truth beauty'that is all Ye know on earth and all Ye need to know. John Keats Category: Truth One lifea little gleam of time between two Eternities. John Keats Category: Life I mean Negative Capability that is when man is capable of being in uncertainties Mysteries doubts without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.... John Keats Category: Capable Silence is deep as Eternity speech is shallow as Time. John Keats Category: Eternity Love is my religion - I could die for it. John Keats Category: Love When I have fears that I may cease to be Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain. John Keats Category: Death There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism.

John Keats Category: Music Happy the people whose annals are blank in history-books. John Keats Category: Book Seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run; To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more And still more later flowers for the bees Until they think warm days will never cease For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. John Keats Category: Autumn Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity there are a hundred that will stand adversity.

John Keats Category: Judgment So many and so many and such glee. John Keats Category: Opinion There was an awful rainbow once in heaven: We know her woof her texture; she is given In the dull catalogue of common things. Philosophy will clip an angels wings. John Keats Category: Philosophy How astonishingly does the chance of leaving the world improve a sense of its natural beauties upon us. Like poor Falstaff although I do not babble I think of green fields; I muse with the greatest affection on every flower I have know from my infancy their shapes and colours are as new to me as if I had just created them with superhuman fancy. John Keats Category: Sense Clever men are good but they are not the best. John Keats Category: Clergy I never can feel certain of any truth but from a clear perception of its beauty. John Keats Category: Unsorted Fame like a wayward girl will still be coy To those who woo her with too slavish knees. John Keats Category: False Fanatics have their dreams wherewith they weave A paradise for a sect.
