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

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.
