		Lamia, last of the tales in verse, followed after an interval of some months and under widely different intellectual conditions.
		The story of Lamia (June-September) which he found in Burton resembled those of Isabella and of The Eve of St. Agnes in representing two lovers united by a secret and mysterious bond; but, here, the mystery becomes sheer witchcraft.
		Lamia’s transformations have the hard brilliance of mosaics; the “volcanian yellow” invades her silver mail “as the lava ravishes the mead.” The same influence told more happily in the brilliant precision of the picture of the city festival, each half-line a distinct and living vignette.

	Lamia
		Thus gentle Lamia judg'd, and judg'd aright, That Lycius could not love in half a fright, So threw the goddess off, and won his heart More pleasantly by playing woman's part, With no more awe than what her beauty gave, That, while it smote, still guaranteed to save.
		The way was short, for Lamia's eagerness Made, by a spell, the triple league decrease To a few paces; not at all surmised By blinded Lycius, so in her comprized.
		Lamia, regal drest, Silently paced about, and as she went, In pale contented sort of discontent, Mission'd her viewless servants to enrich The fretted splendour of each nook and niche.

	Érudit \| RON n28 2002 : Marggraf Turley : 'Full-grown lambs': Immaturity and 'To Autumn' * (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The autumnal surfaces of the poem may shine in the warmth of the maturing sun, but this is truly a Schein or 'apparent' autumn, since through a series of semantic and grammatical disturbances, in tautologies, oxymorons and verbal ambiguities, Keats's autumn emerges as an ironic and subversive antitype of the conventionally 'mature' season.
		Indeed, in 'Ode to a Nightingale', a poem in close dialogue with – a close bosom-friend of – 'To Autumn', the ultimate logic of maturity is presented in wholly uncompromising terms: 'youth grows pale, and spectre thin, and dies' (l.
		In other words, although the presence of sheep should be proof-positive that spring has departed, the mature image is 'sabotaged' through the invocation of lambs and the lambing season.

	Poems and Ballads, First Series: Historicity and Erotic Aestheticism (Chapter 3)
		The poem is an exercise in ideological epistemology.
		The poem begins, appropriately, with a paraphrase of the conclusion to Keats's "Ode to a Nightingale": "Asleep or waking is it?" In "Laus Veneris" this question refers, however, not to the speaker, but rather to the object of his aesthetic and erotic passions.
		Like that poem placed near the beginning of Poems and Ballads, "The Leper," which is almost in the middle of the volume, draws attention to the aestheticist implications of its own medievalism, which are rendered by a focus upon the speaker's anguished recognition that any genuine fulfillment of his passion is irretrievably lost to him.

	Lamia and Other Poems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Keats' "Lamia" is a very early piece (year 1819?) of Gothic literature bringing life to the conventions of the Gothic.
		Like other "second generation" Romantic poets, he sought to revive the early political and social radicalism of the "first generation." Inspired by such events as the French Revolution and other chaotic uprisings, Keats rebelled against the rigid and predictable ideals of neo-classicism, which was rational, imposing, and relied heavily on form and structure.
		Lamia herself seems to parallel the serpent from the Garden of Eden, and there are references to the Book Of Genesis.

		Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene impressed him deeply and his first poem, written in 1814, was 'Lines in Imitation of Spenser.' In that year he moved to London and resumed his surgical studies in 1815 as a student at Guy's hospital.
		His famous poem 'Ode on a Grecian Urn' was inspired by a Wedgwood copy of a Roman copy of a Greek vase.

		God bless you.' His other letters are in a tortured, almost frenzied, strain of jealous suspicion and reproach against her and against those of his intimates who had, as he imagined, disapproved their attachment, or pried into or made light of it, or else had shown her too marked attentions.
		He swiftly altered the words and then read the poem to me, remarking that it was the germ from which all the poetry of his group had sprung--The sheet was reprinted and the earlier and better version restored--I still have the cancelled sheet with his corrections.

		As with other kinds of custom, a simplification, a dogmatism, and a lack of flexibility in traditional meter have been signs of weakness rather than strength and have been the forerunners of its total rejection.
		The only other writers I know to have mentioned the rule "that two successive accents cannot be suppressed or displaced without destroying the underlying pattern" (as they phrase it) were W. Auden and Norman Holmes Pearson in the introduction to Volume I of their anthology, Poets of the English Language.
