"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness"
"I am certain of nothing but of the holiness of the heart's affections and the truth of imagination - what the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth - whether it existed before or not - for I have the same idea of all our passions as of love: they are all, in their sublime, creative of essential beauty"
"For myself I know not how to express my devotion to so fair a form: I want a brighter word than bright, a fairer word than fair. I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days—three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain"
“I had such a dream last night. I was floating above the trees, with my lips connected to that of a beautiful figure”
"Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music: - Do I wake or sleep?"
"Here Lies One Whose Name Was Writ In Water"
... John Keats (1795-1821)
I love Keats ...
