	Hyperion (poem) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Hyperion" is an uncompleted epic poem by 19th-century English Romantic poet John Keats.
		It is based on the Titanomachia, and tells of the despair of the Titans after their fall to the Olympians.
		The poem opens with Saturn bemoaning the loss of his power, which is being overtaken by Jupiter.

	ENG LIT 4930: Class 12 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Together, the four poems for this week (including The Fall of Hyperion for Wednesday) fall into natural pairs -- Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion are both fragments in an epic style, both narrating the fall of the Titans, with the latter being a dream vision reworking of the former.
		Note the masculine versus the feminine rhymes, the use of enjambment, the past-participle adjective (charmed, warmed) versus the -y adjectives (sphery, streamy), the use of spondees.
		Bate concludes that the main theme of the poem is the puncturing of illusion.

	John Keats - Search View - MSN Encarta
		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.

	Visions of Paradise: Hyperion
		But it is there that Silenus’s muse comes to him and he writes an epic poem which miraculously finds its way to a willing editor who publishes it to universal acclaim and the type of fame that strikes one author in a million once a decade or so.
		But abruptly one night, as she is alone inside the Sphinx, the entropic activity centered on the Time Tombs swells in a vast tsunami, enveloping Rachel in such a crush of energy that she slips into an immediate coma.
		Hyperion ends as the pilgrims actually reach the tombs–in a lighthearted moment so wonderful it made me laugh out loud (and which I am restraining myself from revealing even though I want to tell it to you soooo badly!)–and await the shrike.

	Dr. Karen Droisen: John Keats
		Keats finished neither poem, however, and his letters reveal an initial optimism for the project, followed by frustration, and, eventually, what seems to have been a decision to abandon the poems in part because he began to believe that his talents were more suited to lyric poetry.
		The sequence of reflections in this poem resembles that of "Ode to a Nightingale".
		Both poems narrate the speaker's initial interest in and attraction to something that seems to promise immortality; his interrogation of that object and the immortality it seems to promise; and his acceptance of his own mortality represented as a rejection of the immortality offered by the object considered.

	La Folia -- The Hyperion Schubert Lieder Edition, Part One (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The magnificent Hyperion Schubert Lieder Edition is one of the major projects in the history of recorded music, encompassing the entire output of Schubert’s more than six hundred songs in performances by major artists.
		So generous is Hyperion with these notes (and complete texts and translations) that in order to contain such a thick brochure, some of the single discs have had to be packaged in jewel boxes normally used to house two or more CDs.
		In his conscious elevation of harmony and instrumental accompaniment to equal importance with the poem and melody, he brought an overwhelming musical force to bear on the song form — a force sufficient to establish a perfect balance between poetry and music and to create a new relationship of poet to musician.

	I. Nikolova: Keats's Hyperion Poem
		Hyperion seems to enact both a historicization of the myth and a reversal of this process in an attempt to preserve the mythical origins of history.
		The representation of Hyperion defies the sculpturesque forms which are the embodiment of Saturn's godhead at the beginning of the poem.
		The representations of Hyperion's image transcends sensible forms: it is a paradoxical image, consisting of two mutually exclusive elements; the fire acts as an agent of destruction and sets off a destructive temporality which obliterates the material presence of the robe.

	JOHN KEATS: HIS LIFE AND POETRY, HIS FRIENDS, CRITICS AND AFTER-FAME, by Sidney Colvin, 1917
		When his poem opens, the younger gods, the Olympians, have won their victory, and the Titans, all except Hyperion, are already overthrown.
		Hyperion, it is true, has not yet spoken when we are called away from the council, and Keats might have made him side with Enceladus and rouse his brethren to a temporary renewal of the strife.
		Of such wisdom The Fall of Hyperion in its amended form, as revealed and commented by Mnemosyne-Moneta, the great priestess and prophetess, remembrancer and admonisher in one, was meant to be a sample,--or such an attempt at a sample as Keats at the present stage of his mental growth could supply.

	Jeffrey Robinson, On Michael O'Neill's _Romanticism and the Self-Conscious Poem_ - Romantic Circles Reviews, Romantic ...
		For me the most valuable feature of his criticism is the way he follows attentively the psychological (or self-conscious) "presents" of a poem, helping the reader to register the shift of a speaker's thought as an event of the poem.
		But poetry doesn't always declare these goals up front; the relationship between a poem and the world is mediated by its poetics, its own oblique language—and the absence of awareness of the effect of poetics on the reading of a poem is a major problem in O'Neill's discussions.
		This, of course, does not mean that one crudely translates the language of the poem into the events of the day; a poem has its own rhythms, its own vocabulary, finally its own domain.

		In this poem the problems associated with illusion and reality move to a broader plane of conception, what might be considered the "ceaseless effort of individuals, and of generations of individuals.
		In this poem we return to Keats' preoccupation between sleep and poetry.
		Mirroring all of these qualities, the versification avoids the packed, phonetic concentation of the poems from Hyperion through the Eve of St. Agnes to the odes.

	Final
		Although this poem – taken from the novel “Hyperion, or the Hermit of Greece” – was written in 1799, I find it still compelling for its pessimistic vision of human condition and fate.
		I was interested in finding a way to express the sharp antithetic contrast and the conflicts in the poem – peace and restlessness, happiness and suffering, eternity and mortality, certainty and uncertainty, nature and civilization.
		In this way, I wished to deal with the themes contained in the poem: loneliness and exhaustion, desire for a life in harmony and beauty, and the final hope and possibility of conciliating the contradictory nature of human life, thus following the poem’s dialectic of thesis – antithesis – synthesis.

		Keats did not want 'Hyperion' to be published, going so far as to insert the following into the 1820 volume: '[I]t was printed at [the publisher's] request, and contrary to the wish of the author.' But his publisher's faith was rewarded.
		The poem was written between 13 and 17 February 1819 and first published in 1848.

		This second book also follows the plot of a Keats poem, (you guessed it!), "The Fall of Hyperion", in which the poet (Keats), dreams about the events of the first "Hyperion" poem.

		I think one of the interesting things about this poem is differences between it and Fall of Hyperion, Keats' second try at the poem.
		It seems to me that the Fall is a much more Dante-esque type poem, with a traveller instead of a simple narrator of the events.
		Yet, no matter how Keats approached the poem he finally decided that hte didnt have the ability to write it.

	G. Wood: Lord Elgin's Nose
		During the course of the sensational divorce trial in which Lord Elgin brought a case of adultery against his wife, various witnesses were brought to the stand to account for the breakdown in the marriage.
		A chain leading from the loss of Elgin's nose to his wife's peremptory denial of conjugal privileges and eventual adultery, to a public sexual humiliation at the hands of Byron in his description of Elgin as a "statue on the pedestal of Scorn".
		The self-destructive nature of that project, of substituting aesthetic wonder for political power, is evident in the "Hyperion" passage, where imperial election is a curse and imperial power can be experienced only negatively, as a death or metamorphosis into stone.
