Quotes
Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all you know on earth and all ye need to know - Ode to a Grecian Urn
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
The poetry of earth is never dead
Heard melodies are sweet , but those unheard are sweeter
Here lies one whose name was writ in the water
Was it a vision or a waking dream? Fled is that music - Do I wake or sleep?
What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth.
When I have ears that I may Cease to be before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain.
Love is my religion - I could die for it
I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections and the truth of the imagination.
