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

“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.”

“When by my solitary hearth I sit,”

“I have clung”

“Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream,”

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

“You are always new. THe last of your kisses was ever the sweetest; the last smile the brightest; the last movement the gracefullest. When you pass'd my window home yesterday, I was fill'd with as much admiration as if I had then seen you for the first time...Even if you did not love me I could not help an entire devotion to you.”

“In fact she herself once blamed me”

“Unasked, Unsought, Love gives itself but is not bought”

“I am inhabited by a cry.”

“A young gratuitous smile; trust and distrust;”

“Brushing a girl’s hair”

“Ah, the freshness in the face of leaving a task undone!”
