Meandering in a dream . . .

Today is the birthday of John Keats (October 31, 1795 – February 23, 1821), poet.

"Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced."
- John Keats

"Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid."
- John Keats

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness."
- John Keats

"The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were."
- John Keats

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