The nightingale's high note is heard;
It is the hour when lovers' vows
Seem sweet in every whisper'd word.”

“A thing of beauty is a joy forever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness”

Bk. I, l. 1
Endymion (1818)
Context: A thing of beauty is a joy forever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
