Three things with John Keats "poetry should surprise by a fine excess, and not by similarity"
"The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom" (Blake)
- Negative capability
- Remembrance
- Veil of soul making
Anagogy is the highest thing conceivable. Metaphors of divinity. Surpassing romance, back to myth.
"And appear almost a remembrance" (Keats)
touches on beauty.
NF pg. 119 "Literature imitates the total dream of man...not at the center, but at the circumference..."
Woo-woo "Nature is now inside the mind of an infinite man who builds his cities out of the Milky Way. This is not reality, but it is the conceivable imaginative limit of desire, which is infinite, eternal, and hence apocalyptic." (NF)
