I refuse to be put in a cage that gleams golden for many, but bronze for me. I would much rather be a dove in the sky, flying out into the open, into the sky, into the beyond.

About This Quote

The quote by John Keats, "I refuse to be put in a cage that gleams golden for many, but bronze for me." This quote emphasizes the idea that people should not seek happiness where others see it. Instead, they should seek it where they see fit. The true meaning can be seen when you look at the line “I would much rather be a dove in the sky, flying out into the open, into the sky, into the beyond.” The dove is flying through the sky toward its home; it's not trying to stay close to ground.
