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

“Whatever the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth -whether it existed before or not”

“I think 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.”

“I have clung”

“Beauty is truth, truth beauty”

“O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell,”

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

“We were not of this world—”

“We must listen to poets.”

“Know then thyself, presume not God to scan,”

“Out of the night that covers me,”

“Compañera”

“She dotes on poetry, sir. She adores it; I may say that her whole soul and mind are wound up, and entwined with it. She has produced some delightful pieces, herself, sir. You may have met with her 'Ode to an Expiring Frog,' sir.”
