Endymion: A Poetic Romance is a long narrative poem written by the famous English Romantic poet John Keats. The poem tells the story of Endymion, a young shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess, Selene. Endymion's quest for Selene takes him on a journey through various mythological worlds and landscapes, encountering gods, nymphs, and monsters along the way. The poem is divided into four books, each of which explores different themes and ideas, including love, beauty, nature, and the power of the imagination. Keats' rich and evocative language, combined with his vivid imagery and complex symbolism, make Endymion a masterpiece of Romantic poetry. Although the poem was initially met with mixed reviews, it has since been recognized as one of Keats' most important works, and a significant contribution to the Romantic literary tradition.A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never....This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
