Description
"Memoir for Story" Arranged by me, taken from the Epoch Times, "A reading from Hyperion" by John Keats. The link is here www.theepochtimes.com/n2/arts-…When we stand
amid the columns of broken temples,
gaze upon riddling hieroglyphics or trace the spiral patterns on cavern walls,
we glimpse the gods of ancient times. Who or what were they? Did they really
walk upon the earth?
And could their weird and twisted forms
possibly return to haunt our imagination?
Their power is waning.
Try as they might they cannot rouse themselves
from lethargy and confusion.
Soon, the charismatic Jupiter
will wrest the throne from Saturn,
of the Titans and the names of
Coeus, Gyges,
Dolor, and Porphyrion will be banished forever
—except perhaps to live on in poetry.
