Hilton, John Keats, 1822
It struck me what Quality went to form a Person of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is, when someone is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.
John Keats, from a letter to his brothers, 21 December 1817
