John Keats Quotes

Brown And Dilke Walked With Me And Back From The Christmas Pantomime. I Had Not A Dispute But A Disquisition, With Dilke On Various Subjects; Several Things Dove-tailed In My Mind, And At Once It Struck Me What Quality Went To Form A Man Of Achievement, Especially In Literature, And Which Shakespeare Possessed So Enormously - I Mean Negative Capability, That Is, When A Man Is Capable Of Being In Uncertainties, Mysteries, Doubts, Without Any Irritable Reaching After Fact And Reason - Coleridge, For Instance, Would Let Go By A Fine Isolated Verisimilitude Caught From The Penetralium Of Mystery, From Being Incapable Of Remaining Content With Half-knowledge. This Pursued Through Volumes Would Perhaps Take Us No Further Than This, That With A Great Poet The Sense Of Beauty Overcomes Every Other Consideration, Or Rather Obliterates All Consideration.
