No stir of air was there, Not so much life as on a summer's day Robs not one light seed from the feathered grass, But where the dead leaf fell, there did it rest
More Quotes from John Keats:
We have oftener than once endeavoured to attach some meaning to that aphorism, vulgarly imputed to Shaftesbury, which however we can find nowhere in his works, that 'ridicule is the test of truth.'John Keats

John Keats
Give me books, fruit, French wine and fine weather and a little music out of doors, played by someone I do not know. I admire lolling on a lawn by a water-lilied pond to eat white currants and see goldfish and go to the fair in the evening if I'm good. There is not hope for that --one is sure to get into some mess before evening.
John Keats

John Keats
