Keats Quotes

“And she forgot the stars, the moon, and sun/ And she forgot the blue above the trees,/ And she forgot the dells where waters run,/ And she forgot the chilly autumn breeze;/ She had no knowledge when the day was done,/ And the new morn she saw not: but in peace/ Hung over her sweet basil evermore,/ And moisten'd it with tears unto the core.”
― John Keats, Keats: Poems

“Aye, on the shores of darkness there is light,
And precipices show untrodden green,
There is a budding morrow in midnight,
There is a triple sight in blindness keen;”
― John Keats, Keats: Poems

“But, for the general award of love,
The little sweet doth kill much bitterness;”
― John Keats, Keats: Poems

“Save me from curious conscience, that still hoards
Its strength for darkness, burrowing like the mole;
Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards,
And seal the hushed casket of my soul.”
― John Keats, Keats: Poems

“How is it Shadows! that I knew ye not?
How came ye muffled in so hush a mask?
Was it a silent deep-disguised plot
To steal away, and leave without a task
My idle days? Ripe was the drowsy hour;
The blissful cloud of summer-indolence
Benumbed my eyes; my pulse grew less and less;
Pain had no sting, and pleasure’s wreath no flower:
O why did ye not melt, and leave my sense
Unhaunted quite of all but—nothingness?”
― John Keats , Keats: Poems

“And there shall be for thee all soft delight
That shadowy thought can win”
― John Keats, Keats: Poems

“Yet can I think of thee till thought is blind”
― John Keats, Keats: Poems
