What the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth.

With a great poet the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration, or rather obliterates all consideration.

The Public - a thing I cannot help looking upon as an enemy, and which I cannot address without feelings of hostility.

There is not a fiercer hell than the failure in a great object.

Much have I traveled in the realms of gold, and many goodly states and kingdoms seen.

He ne'er is crowned with immortality Who fears to follow where airy voices lead.

There is nothing stable in the world; uproar's your only music.

Poetry should... should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.

I will give you a definition of a proud man: he is a man who has neither vanity nor wisdom one filled with hatreds cannot be vain, neither can he be wise.

I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top.
