Quote by John Keats

"But strength alone though of the Muses born241 Is like a fallen angel: trees uptorn, Darkness, and worms, and shrouds, and sepulchres Delight it; for it feeds upon the burrs And thorns of life; forgetting the great end Of Poesy, that it should be a friend To soothe the cares, and lift the thoughts of man."

— John Keats, from Sleep and Poetry
