I am certain of nothing but the Holiness of the Heart’s affections and the Truth of the Imagination.

About
John Keats was born in London, England. He was an English Romantic poet who devoted his short life to the perfection of a poetry marked by vivid imagery, great sensuous appeal, and an attempt to express a philosophy through classical legend. Having finished his apprenticeship with Hammond, he registered as a medical student at Guy's Hospital, now part of King's College London and began studying there in October 1815. He wrote several poems include: Endymion, Hyperion, Lamia, To Autumn, Isabella, the Eve of St. Agnes, and Ode to a Nightingale.
