	ENG LIT 4930: Class 12
		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.
		Bate concludes that the main theme of the poem is the puncturing of illusion.
		Note the interplay of strong contrasts in the poem -- cold/heat, youth/age, revelry/penance, sensuality/chastity and so on.

	The Lair of the Shrike
		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.
		In the second book, The Fall of Hyperion, we learn the fate of the seven pilgrims we have been introduced to in Hyperion, along with the fate of the rest of humanity, as the two are intricately tied together.
		In the first book, Hyperion, we meet the seven members of the final pilgrimage to the Shrike, on the planet of Hyperion.

	Poetry X :: View topic - Hyperion, John Keats
		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.

	JOHN KEATS: HIS LIFE AND POETRY, HIS FRIENDS, CRITICS AND AFTER-FAME, by Sidney Colvin, 1917
		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.
		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.
		When his poem opens, the younger gods, the Olympians, have won their victory, and the Titans, all except Hyperion, are already overthrown.

	bookideas.com: The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons
		The Fall Of Hyperion delves further into the Gordian knot of these characters' lives, and how all their fates are bound together with the awful Avatar, the Shrike.
		Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion are more than page-turners.
		The first book in this series, Hyperion is the story of a group of pilgrims who tell their tales to each other during the course of their pilgrimage to find The Shrike, a metallic monstrosity that bends time and harvests pain from the field of human life.

	MSN Encarta - Printer-friendly - John Keats
		The subject of “Hyperion” is the fall of the primeval Greek gods, who are dethroned by the Olympians, a newer order of gods led by Apollo.
		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.
		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.

	The Void and the Word: Dan Simmons' Complete Hyperion Cantos
		Both "Hyperion" (1818) and "The Fall of Hyperion" (1819) are ambitious, incomplete attempts to create epic poems around a classical theme: the overthrow of the race of Titans--among them Saturn, Uranus, and the sun god Hyperion--by the gods of ancient Greek mythology (Apollo, Zeus, etc.).
		In "The Poet's Tale," Martin Silenus, author of an incomplete poem cycle called The Hyperion Cantos, describes his life from the last days of Old Earth through his career as the Hegemony's most successful poet, a career which culminates with his return to the homeworld of his elusive Muse, the Shrike.
		The Hyperion books are particularly striking examples of Simmons' ability to assimilate and make use of a wide variety of literary and intellectual sources.

		He also made his last attempt to define the function of the poet in The Fall of Hyperion ; but this, like the former Hyperion, was never completed and remains a tantalizing fragment of cryptic, inconclusive beauty.
		This new poem linked up with Endymion, as an essential part of its purpose was to describe the growth of Apollo into a true poet through ever deeper acceptance and understanding of change and sorrow.
		Although the poem is distinctly inferior, its theme was connected with Keats's more philosophical preoccupations, as it centers on the beauty and greatness of tragic love.

		He became too ill and was unable to finish “The Fall of Hyperion.” He died of turberculosis, just as his mother did, before the poem could be completed.
		In his lifetime he published three books of verse: Poems (1817), Endymion (1818), Lamia Isabella and other poems including two famous poems “Odes” and “Hyperion.” Hunt then introduced him to a circle of literary men, including Percy Bysshe Shelley and William Wordsworth.
		These men influenced him to create his first volume of verses, called Poems by John Keats.

		This story is notable for its introduction of the Cruciform, a cross-shaped parasite which attaches itself to the human body and condemns its host to an endless cycle of sexless, increasingly mindless resurrections.
