Letters (1817-1820)[edit]

  • I am certain of nothing but 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.
    • Letter to Benjamin Bailey (November 22, 1817).
  • The imagination may be compared to Adam’s dream — he awoke and found it truth.
    • Letter to Benjamin Bailey (November 22, 1817).
  • O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!
    • Letter to Benjamin Bailey (November 22, 1817).
