It is, I hope, not fanciful to suggest, that by this sonnet readers of Dante may be reminded of those in his delightful Vita Nuova ; they are well-matched in their pure, child-like loveliness. Endymion, published 1818, is much the longest work of Keats, who, with his excellent unfailing candour, described it as " a feverish attempt, rather than a deed accomplished." He has tried to supply through Greek mythology the groundwork which was found in mediaeval romances of chivalry by his favourite S...penser. But he has not Spenser's ideal aim, his deep spirituality ; here he rarely gives us more than beauty for beauty's sake. The legend chosen, however, supplied but scanty material. It is not so much the canvas as the frame- work, upon which he has woven and stretched a scene of splendid embroidery, mostly modern in its tone, though inter- spersed with colours and forms from the ancient world. Endy- mion altogether hence could only prove a pathless intricacy of story, a Paradise without a plan.
