Every particle of dust on a patch of earth Was a sun-cheek or brow of the morning star; Shake the dust off your sleeve carefully-- That too was a delicate, fair face.

About This Quote

The poet John Keats wrote, “Every particle of dust on a patch of earthWas a sun-cheek or brow of the morning star;Shake the dust off your sleeve carefully--That too was a delicate, fair face.” In this poem, Keats captures the rich beauty of the world in a few lines. He does it by paying tribute to the beauty in our everyday lives. Unfortunately, we tend to take beauty for granted. We think that the beauty around us is always there and we don’t have to do anything special to appreciate it.
