John Keats on Immortality
← Back to John Keats Profile
“He ne'er is crowned with immortality Who fears to follow where airy voices lead.”
“No, no, I'm sure, My restless spirit never could endure To brood so long upon one luxury, Unless it did, though fearfully, espy A hope beyond the shadow of a dream.”
“I long to believe in immortality. I shall never be able to bid you an entire farewell. If I am destined to be happy with you here — how short is the longest life. I wish to believe in immortality — I wish to live with you forever.”
