The poetry of the earth is never dead. - John Keats

"Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject."

"The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were."

"Life is but a day:A fragile dewdrop on its perilious wayFrom a tree's summit"

"The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeable evaporate."

"Yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From our dark spirits."
