Do you know what would hold me together on a battlefield? The sense that I was perpetuating the language in which Keats and the rest of them wrote!
Wilfred Owen
For awhile after you quit Keats all other poetry seems to be only whistling or humming.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I am a genius who has written poems that will survive with the best of Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Keats.
Irving Layton
If you want to study writing, read Dickens. That's how to study writing, or Faulkner, or D.H. Lawrence, or John Keats. They can teach you everything you need to know about writing.
Shelby Foote
We learned in the university to consider Wordsworth and Keats as Romantics. They were only a generation apart, but Wordsworth didn't even read Keats's book when he gave him a copy.
