Are there any other poems (apart from the ones in the back of the Penguin "Complete Poems" edition) that are attributed to Keats?
The reason I ask this is that I came across these lines in a fictional book I was reading and I can't find them anywhere else:
"Now that I have tasted her sweet soul to the core
All other depths are shallow, essences
Once spiritual, are like muddy lees
Fit only to sink my earthly root
And make my branches lift a golden fruit
Into the bloom of heaven."
It is Keatsian in nature, although somehow not, don't you think?
Any ideas??
BTW the book was "Endymion" by Dan Simmons, which is part of a science fiction story taking Hyperion and Endymion as the basis for a completely new fictional work. Actually, an excellent series (4 novels) if you're into that sort of thing.
