| | Hyperion (poem) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Here Mnemosyne (goddess of memory) encounters him and he explains to her the cause of his tears: he is aware of his divine potential, but as yet unable to fulfil it. | | | He is addressed by Uranus (old god of the sky, father of Saturn), who encourages him to go to where Saturn and the other Titans are. | | | Thea leads him to a place where the other Titans sit, similarly miserable, and they discuss whether they should fight back against their conquest by the new gods (the Olympians). |

| | Visions of Paradise: Hyperion |
| | 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. | | | All seven pilgrims have been to Hyperion before, which leads them to believe they share some connection which is why they were particularly chosen for the pilgrimage. | | | A group of seven pilgrims have been selected by the Church of the Shrike to travel to the world Hyperion and undertake a pilgrimage to the infamous Time Tombs to meet the Shrike. |

| | Note the interplay of strong contrasts in the poem -- cold/heat, youth/age, revelry/penance, sensuality/chastity and so on. | | | Compare the knowledge of human suffering that must be attained before Apollo can become the god of poetry and the Chamber of maiden-thought described in Keats' letters. | | | Note the difference in style in this poem. |

| | Notes to the poems |
| | The poem views the Christian gospel with Hellenic eyes. | | | The "mystery of the wine" links the Last Supper with Dionysus, and the written Gospels were created as a human response to the impossibility of merging with godhead, of being a god oneself. | | | The Prince of the Festival is probably Christ, who is definitely referred to in the fourth strophe. |

| | Mythography The Titan Hyperion in Myth and Art |
| | According to Hesiod, Hyperion was the son of two important divine beings. | | | In Greek mythology, Helios was the god of the Sun, Eos the goddess of Dawn, and Selene the goddess of the Moon. | | | Furthermore, Hesiod has left us a remarkable record of the legendary birth of many of the Greek gods and goddesses in his Theogony. |

| | John Keats - Search View - MSN Encarta |
| | In a dream, the poem’s speaker must pass through death to enter a temple that receives only those who cannot forget the miseries of the world. | | | In the sixth stanza he suddenly remembers what death means, and the thought of it frightens him back to earth and his own humanity. | | | Presiding over the shrine is Moneta, a prophetess whose face embodies many of the opposites that had long haunted Keats’s imagination—death and immortality, stasis and change, humankind’s goodness and darkness. |

| | On Hyperion, the Time Tombs are opening and seven pilgrims risk their lives to petition the Shrike -- a creature that may control the fate of all mankind. | | | But Hyperion is home also to the Shrike, part god and part killing machine, whose powers are said to transcend space and time. | | | A young girl, Aenea, is foreseen is a great threat to the current ruling Hegemony in the galaxy, a twisted version of the Catholic Church that relies on the cruciform parasite and the promise of resurrection to hold sway. |

| | JOHN KEATS: HIS LIFE AND POETRY, HIS FRIENDS, CRITICS AND AFTER-FAME, by Sidney Colvin, 1917 |
| | With some others in the same style, they are quoted by the poet as composing a gloss written in minute script on the margin of a wonderful illuminated book over which the damsel is found poring and which is to have some mysterious influence on her destiny. | | | When his poem opens, the younger gods, the Olympians, have won their victory, and the Titans, all except Hyperion, are already overthrown. | | | But the scheme, which under no circumstances, one would say, could have been a prosperous one, was soon abandoned, and this, the last of Keats's great fragments, breaks off near the beginning of the second book. |

| | I. Nikolova: Keats's Hyperion Poem |
| | I shall reconsider the incompletion of Keats's "Hyperion. | | | The loss of Apollo's divinity and the subsequent desire to retain the sacred in a state of fallenness reveals the poem's resistance to synthesis and the unresolved tensions maintained in a historicized aesthetic or an aestheticized history. | | | The speech-acts of Hyperion question Keats's own "naked and Grecian manner" of representation and the equilibrium of the Greek classical ideal. |

| | 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. | | | Basically, these books describe the stuggle of humanity to free itself from the chains of a great oppressor, the identity of which I can't reveal without destroying the books for you. |

| | They reflect for me qualities of peacefulness, eternity, and serenity. | | | It also expresses the poet’s tragic life as an outsider, his unfulfilled love to a married woman, and an outbreak of schizophrenia at the age of 32. | | | 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. |

| | During a recent book signing (10/2/97), I asked Dan how and when the image of the Shrike first came to him. | | | At first, I couldn't see much resemblance between the fragility of a pen and the power and strength in the Shrike. | | | A reborn John Keats wrestles with the bigger, behind-the-scenes forces while his poetry influences everything from the names on Hyperion to the "key mystery of our age physical and poetic". |

| | G. Wood: Lord Elgin's Nose |
| | It is a dark ontological fantasy of Keats', to write about turning to stone, but when traced through the story of Lord Elgin himself it is a fantasy that comes quite shockingly to life, like the gods themselves out of their dreadful torpor at the opening of "Hyperion." | | | This passage has been read as a conflicted representation of Keats own poetic election wherein Keats casts himself as the aspirant god of English poetry but can't bring himself to actually describe that wished-for incarnation. | | | Byron describes this self-destructive quality of imperial desire in sexual terms, as a rape which redounds on the perpetrator as cuckoldry and humiliation. |

| | La Folia -- The Hyperion Schubert Lieder Edition, Part One |
| | At this time, the lyricism of Goethe provided the greatest inspiration for Schubert’s songs, but when he sent the famous writer the scores of some of the songs he had set to Goethe’s poems, along with a letter indicating his desire to make Goethe’s acquaintance, the letter was never answered. | | | A word of praise, then, to Hyperion for a project that is not only monumental but truly unprecedented. | | | The project, whose first disc appeared in 1989, and which is now finally complete, was the brainchild of Graham Johnson, who is the superb piano accompanist in all of the recordings, as well as the author of the unsurpassed notes that accompany the discs. |

| | Poetry X :: View topic - Hyperion, John Keats |
| | 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. | | | Its an SF book based on John Keats' works, and it is what originally got me hooked on 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. |
