  And many goodly states and kingdoms seen;"
  • On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer

• "Darkling I listen; and, for many a time
  I have been half in love with easeful Death,
  Call'd him soft names in many a musèd rhyme,
  To take into the air my quiet breath;"
  • Ode to a Nightingale

from Endymion

• " A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
  Its loveliness increases; it will never
  Pass into nothingness; "

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

• "All lovely tales that we have heard or read:
  An endless fountain of immortal drink,
  Pouring unto us from the heaven’s brink.

• " Nor do we merely feel these essences
  For one short hour;
  […] whether there be shine, or gloom o’ercast,
  They alway must be with us, or we die. "

• "He ne'er is crown'd
  With immortality, who fears to follow
  Where airy voices lead."

from Ode on a Grecian Urn
