4 quotes

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty," — that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

Poems (1820)

The excellency of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeables evaporate, from their being in close relationship with beauty and truth.

Letters (1817)

A thing of beauty is a joy forever:
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.

Endymion (1818)

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

Endymion (1818)
