i want to take the harmonies from movement, pulverize them down into a liquid form, and then directly inject it into my heart in my best pulp fiction impression.

John Keats, Ode to a Nightingale

[alighthouse-incleanwaters]

random lines from john keats’ poetry that routinely make me lose my shit:

‘the murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves’ (ode to a nightingale)

‘barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day’ (to autumn)

‘silent, upon a peak in Darien’ (on first looking into chapman’s homer)

‘a rosy sanctuary will i dress / with the wreathed trellis of a working brain’ (ode to psyche)

‘when i behold, upon the night’s starred face, / huge cloudy symbols of a high romance, / and think i may never live to trace / their shadows, with the magic hand of chance’ (when i have fears that i may cease to be)

‘madeleine asleep in lap of legends old’ (the eve of st agnes)

‘but, when i am consumed in the fire, / give me new phoenix wings to fly at my desire’ (on sitting down to read king lear once again)

‘so, if we may not let the muse be free, / she will be bound with garlands of her own’ (if by dull rhymes our english must be chained)
