Quotes by John Keats

John Keats is a name that must figure in any list of the greatest English poets. But did you know that John Keats died at a very young age of 25? Just imagine the wealth of literature that he might have created had he lived longer. All the same, his existing body of work itself is so rich that he stands as a literary giant. This is a list of memorable John Keats quotes.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever

The poetry of earth is never dead.

Hear ye not the hum, Of mighty workings?

Here lies one whose name was writ in water.

The days of peace and slumberous calm are fled.

As though a rose should shut and be a bud again.

There is not a fiercer hell than the failure in a great object.

Love in a hut, with water and a crust, Is - Love, forgive us! - cinders, ashes, dust.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all, Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard, Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on.

In a drear-nighted December, Too happy, happy tree, Thy branches ne'er remember,their green felcity
