Since you're reading Hyperion, you might be interested to know the reference to Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion (Poems by Keats, not the Simmons books which share the same names).

You say you're almost done, so I assume you have read the soldier's tale by now:

> The Fall of Hyperion is narrated by the poet, who, in a dream, is allowed to enter a shrine. The goddess Moneta reveals to the dreamer that the function of the poet in the world is to separate himself from the mere dreamer and to enter into and embrace the suffering of humanity.
