Poetry Quote by John Keats — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

““I have been astonished that men could die martyrs”

“A Poet is the most unpoetical of any thing in existence; because he has no Identity -- he is continually in for -- and filling some other Body -- The Sun, the Moon, the Sea, and Men and Women who are creatures of impulse are poetical and have about them an unchangeable attribute -- the poet has none; no identity -- he is certainly the most unpoetical of all God's creatures.”

“Philosophy will clip an Angel's wings,”

“Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all”

“Darkling I listen; and, for many a time”

“When I have fears that I may cease to be”

“The poet, therefore, is truly the thief of fire.”

“Sometimes, it’s the people who have been hurt the most who refuse to be hardened in this world, because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they have felt. If that isn’t something to be in awe of, I don’t know what is.”

“Repelled by cruelty”

“Nothing”

“Now begins to rise in me the familiar rhythm; words that have lain dormant now lift, now toss their crests, and fall and rise, and falls again. I am a poet, yes. Surely I am a great poet.”

“Mad Ireland hurt you into poetry.”
