Died at 25. Left behind enough poetry to last centuries. No regrets except the ones I wrote about.

John Keats
·1819·Winchester, England

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, / Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; / Conspiring with him how to load and bless / With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run.

John Keats
·1819·London, England

She dwells with Beauty—Beauty that must die; / And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips / Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh, / Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips: / Ay, in the very temple of Delight / Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine.

I mean Negative Capability, that is when man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact & reason.

John Keats

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart's affections and the truth of Imagination.
