Words that Move Me...



A thing of beauty is a joy for ever;
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams and health


And quiet breathing




(John Keats)

  1. Keats wrote with such a tender voice. How he loved writing about eternal beauty. Thanks for this selection. Now I'm tempted to take out my book on Keats :)

  4. 'Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing
    A flowery band to bind us to the earth,'

    Nearly 1000 lines of Endymion: Book 1, the 4 lines you chose are so lovely. The whole poem is worth reading .
