Anachronism
[edit ]Holderlin's Hyperion was written around the time of Keats' birth, so there's no question that Keats' Hyperion could have influenced it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.144.13.193 (talk • contribs)
- Good point. I've fixed it. --Gwern (contribs) 06:42 21 January 2007 (GMT)
Questionnable analysis
[edit ]The following unsourced statement: "In Hyperion, the quality of Keats' blank verse reached new heights.." may well be true, but the illustration that follows:
- Deep in the shady sadness of a vale,
- Far sunken from the healthy breath of morn,
- Far from the fiery noon, and eve's one star,
- Sat gray-hair'd Saturn, quiet as a stone,
- Still as the silence round about his lair.
...is quite unconvincing. Not only is there no enjambment, but these lines are largely recycled from his earlier Fall of Hyperion, so logically cannot constitute new heights. I've removed this analysis. Phil wink (talk) 17:03, 17 January 2020 (UTC) [reply ]
