Here are two compositions by John Keats with a recent audio-recording of the text. These are: Ode on a Grecian Urn and the opening passage of Hyperion, an epic which remained incomplete. Keats lived a short life and his best creative period, of a couple of years was, around 1819. Had he lived longer and completed Hyperion with the original inspiration he would have been, says Sri Aurobindo, one of the greatest poets in the world. But alas! it was not. On the other hand, his Endymion published in 1818 was severely criticized which, it is said, caused rapid deterioration of his health. Along with these two pieces, we also include Crocker’s attack in the Quarterly Review; Crocker became notorious to earn the compliment that, one of his feats was to kill Keats.
