	MSN Encarta - Printer-friendly - John Keats
		The speaker of this poem first expresses hope that, if he is to be alone, it will be in “Nature’s Observatory”; he then imagines the “highest bliss” to be writing poetry in nature rather than simply observing nature.
		In “Sleep and Poetry,” a longer poem from 1816, Keats articulates the purpose of poetry as he sees it: “To soothe the cares, and lift the thoughts of man.” Within a year of his first publications Keats had abandoned medicine, turned exclusively to writing poetry, and entered the mainstream of contemporary English poets.
		In the poem, the mortal hero Endymion's quest for the goddess Cynthia serves as a metaphor for imaginative longing—the poet’s quest for a muse, or divine inspiration.

		In 1894 he published Eremus, a long poem of loose structure in blank verse of a philosophical complexion.
		This poem arrested the attention of watchful critics of poetry, and when it was followed by a collection of Poems in 1897 the writers position as a new poet of exceptional gifts was generally recognized.
		The volume won the prize of fioo offered by the Academy newspaper for the best new book of its year, ran through half a dozen editions in two years, and established Mr Phillipss rank as poet, which was sustained by the publication.

	Notes. Keats, John. 1884. Poetical Works
		This nameless Poem, to judge by its style and matter, may be safely placed amongst the latest-written pieces in the volume of 1817, and was, doubtless, chosen by Keats as a kind of “Induction,” (to use the fine Elizabethan word with which he entitled the piece next following), to his little venture.
		This and the next two poems, without the aid given by the note in brackets after the Dedication, might, upon internal evidence of manner, be safely referred to the earliest surviving work of Keats, written perhaps before he was twenty, or had fully resigned himself to the magic of Spenser.
		Two months later, speaking of some poem, undefined, perhaps, even to himself, which he desired to write, he says: “As the marvellous is the most enticing, and the surest guarantee of harmonious numbers, I have been endeavouring to persuade myself to untether Fancy, and to let her manage for herself.

	[minstrels] A Thing of Beauty is a Joy for Ever -- John Keats
		Endymion's parentage varies among the different ancient references and stories, but several traditions say that he was originally the king of Elis.
		In any case, Endymion was loved by Selene, the goddess of the moon, who visited him every night while he lay asleep in a cave on Mount Latmus in Caria; she bore him 50 daughters.
		In his wanderings in quest of Diana, Endymion is guilty of an apparent infidelity to his visionary moon goddess and falls in love with an earthly maiden to whom he is attracted by human sympathy.

		Shelley's poem, the longer of the two, was completed by the early autumn, while Keats's occupied him until the winter which opened 1818.
		Surely the poem, with all its faults, is a very remarkable production for a man of Keats's age[7]; and the promise of ultimate excellence is such as has rarely been afforded even by such as have afterwards attained high literary eminence.
		The finest things are to be found in the denunciation of the 'deaf and viperous murderer;' in the stanzas concerning the 'Mountain Shepherds,' especially the figure representing Shelley himself; and in the solemn and majestic conclusion, where the poet rises from the region of earthly sorrow into the realm of ideal aspiration and contemplation.

	Stauder, "Darkness Audible: Negative Capability and Mark Doty’s 'Nocturne in Black and Gold'", Romanticism and ...
		Doty’s comment on the beginning of "Endymion" is only a page and a half long with two additional pages of illustrations, one of the first manuscript page of Keats’s poem and the other, a deathbed portrait of Keats by Severn, addressed to John Taylor from Rome, January 21, 1825.
		Though not ostensibly a poem focused on night or nothingness—indeed the only flness is the singer him-/herself—the poem plays repeatedly on the refrain, "name the colors." In a reversal of "Nocturne" the Augustinian shadow is approached here through color and the shadow is the looming possibility of the failure of self-invention and memory.
		The opening of the poem locates lamplight within the darkness of the "lustrous wall," which is the subject of Whistler’s painting as well as the canvas or page itself, both the scene of the poem and the place of writing/painting/singing.

	[minstrels] Wife Poem -- Hayden Carruth
		Reduction is a key to this poem, as is the weakness of an echo.
		His wife is consistently identified with the moon from the initial simile, to the "claire de lune" of her shoulder, and the "clouds" of her hair.
		We see in Endymion the young poet, his fancy and his heart seeking in vain for that which can satisfy them, finding his favourite hour in the quiet moonlight, and nursing there beneath the beams of the bright and silent witness the melancholy and the ardour which consume him.

	John-Keats.com - Biography
		The divine vision which haunts Endymion in dreams is for Keats symbolical of Beauty itself, and it is the passion of the human soul for beauty which he attempts, more or less consciously, to shadow forth in the quest of the shepherd-prince after his love.
		Such organic plan as the poem has can best be traced by fixing our attention on the main divisions adopted by the author of his narrative into books, and by keeping hold at the same time, wherever we can, of the thread of allegoric thought and purpose that seems to run loosely through the whole.
		Returning, in that book, to upper air, Endymion before long half forgets his goddess for the charms of an Indian maiden, the sound of whose lamentations reaches him while he is sacrificing in the forest, and who tells him how she has come wandering in the train of Bacchus from the east.

		In choosing subjects from an epic poem of high seriousness in which heroic history was mingled with the marvelous, they shared the poet's great invention, and like him were imitators of human action of more than common interest and significance.
		Such are the episodes of Erminia, the pagan princess, taking up her abode with the shepherds amid the simple pleasures of the country far from the iniquity of courts, and of Rinaldo's enchantment in the Fortunate Isles by the beautiful witch Armida, famous for its langorous voluptuousness.
		And it is interesting to observe that although the antique components of the depiction of the myth of Endymion served Poussin for the episode of Rinaldo and Armida, when he came to represent the myth itself, as in the beautiful Detroit picture Fig.

		Besides a long Poem is a test of Invention which I take to be the Polar Star of Poetry, as Fancy is the Sails, and Imagination the Rudder.
		Endymion was 'inscribed to the memory of Thomas Chatterton'.
		He wrote to his publisher Hessey in October 1818: 'In Endymion, I leaped headlong into the Sea, and thereby have become better acquainted with the Soundings, the quicksands, and the rocks, than if I had stayed upon the green shore, and piped a silly pipe, and took tea and comfortable advice.

		The poem centers around the death of Adonais, which is a play on the Adonis character from Greek mythology.
		In this poem, Adonais is John Keats, in that Shelley thought of Keats as this young and beautiful force in Romantic poetry.

		Now turn we to our former chroniclers.-- Endymion awoke, that grief of hers Sweet paining on his ear: he sickly guess'd How lone he was once more, and sadly press'd His empty arms together, hung his head, And most forlorn upon that widow'd bed Sat silently.

	The Mediadrome - Poetry - Endymion (John Keats)
		The close of this very long poem is, I think, rather less satisfactory than the beginning: the general idea behind the poem involves Endymion's sister, Peona, and his leaving home and becoming involved with an Indian Maid and the Moon goddess.
		His divided love appears to be reconciled at the end, the poem implying that the two are the same (or maybe not!).
		He wrote the poem as the result of a friendly competition with Shelley to write a poem four thousand lines long in six months; he finished it in 1818, when he was 23.

		His first mature poem is the sonnet "On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer" (1816), which was inspired by his excited reading of George Chapman's classic 17th-century translation of the Iliad and the Odyssey.
		This is evident in the relaxed and rambling sentiments evinced and in Keats's use of a loose form of the heroic couplet and light rhymes.
		The most interesting poem in this volume is "Sleep and Poetry," the middle section of which contains a prophetic view of Keats's own poetical progress.

	POETRY CRITICISMS
		Thus Endymion promises his sister, and one part of our attention is quickened, because what’s promised is the kind of stirring material from which narrative poems are usually made.
		In Endymion the intention is to tell a story that passes rapidly beyond the tackle of swords and trooping hounds.
		Byron’s poem is best approached as a kind of process without beginning or end; a humming machine, details of whose operation can be glimpsed only by looking quickly aside; in short, as a modern poem.
