Джон Китс (1795–1821) английский поэт
Письмо Бенджамину Бейли, 22 ноября 1817 г., Летерхед (№ 3)
I am certain of nothing but of the holiness of the Heart’s affections and the truth of Imagination – What the imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth – whether it existed before or not – for I have the same idea of all our passions as of love: they are all, in their sublime, creative of essential beauty.
