Keats - Lamia |

A world of folly in one little soul,
_Man_ loves to think himself a whole;
Part of the part am I, which once was all, the Gloom
That brought forth Light itself from out her mighty womb,
The upstart proud, that now with mother Night
Disputes her ancient rank and space and right,
Yet never shall prevail, since, do whate'er he will,
He cleaves, a slave, to bodies still;
From bodies flows, makes bodies fair to sight;
A body in his course can check him,
His doom, I
therefore
hope, will soon o'ertake him,
With bodies merged in nothingness and night.

Imagination, loudening with the surf
Of the midsummer wind among the boughs,
Gathers my spirit from the haunts remote
Of faintest silence and the shades of sleep,
To bear me on the summit of her wave
Beyond known shores, beyond the mortal edge
Of thought terrestrial, to hold me poised
Above the frontiers of infinity,
To which in the full reflux of the wave
Come soon I must, bubble of solving foam,
Borne to those other shores--now never mine
Save for a hovering instant, short as this
Which now sustains me ere I be drawn back--
To learn again, and wholly learn, I trust,
How
beautiful
it is to wake at night.

Answer: |
Why does depriving something of its value negate the proof that it cannot be applied to the world?
If we can deprive the categories of reason of their value, then the proof that they cannot be applied to the world is no longer a sufficient reason for depriving that world of its value. In other words, the worth of the world is measured according to categories which can only be applied to a purely fictitious world, and the belief in these categories of reason is the cause of Nihilism. All values with which we have tried to lend the world some worth are psychologically the results of certain views of utility, falsely projected into the nature of things. Therefore, depriving something of its value negates the proof that it cannot be applied to the world because the values are not inherent in the world but projected onto it by humans. |

Guess: |

Question: |
Why does Samuel Johnson consider it absurd to speak of geometrical beauty? |
Answer: |
Samuel Johnson considers it absurd to speak of geometrical beauty because the concept of beauty is subjective and cannot be reduced to simple calculations or reasoning. Beauty is relative and comparative, and judgments about it are based on short-sighted instinctive responses rather than reasoned calculation. Beauty emerges from the self-preservative values of a certain type of person, and is shaped by numerous factors including genetics, social norms and ideals, and individual interpretation. Ultimately, beauty cannot be considered absolute, just as goodness and truth cannot. |

LAMIA
By John Keats
Part 1
Upon a time, before the faery broods
Drove Nymph and Satyr from the prosperous woods,
Before King Oberon's bright diadem,
Sceptre, and mantle, clasp'd with dewy gem,
Frighted away the Dryads and the Fauns
From rushes green, and brakes, and cowslip'd lawns,
The ever-smitten Hermes empty left
His golden throne, bent warm on amorous theft:
From high Olympus had he stolen light,
On this side of Jove's clouds, to escape the sight
Of his great summoner, and made retreat
Into a forest on the shores of Crete.
