About This Quote
When poet John Keats said, “Had you but seen it, I promise you, your high-minded principles would have melted like candle wax. Never would you have wished such beauty away,” he was talking about the power of art. Art is so powerful that it can change lives. When people see the beauty in the world around them they are able to free their minds and hearts.
