Abstract: Throughout his poetic career, Keats is concerned consistently with matters of perspective--with the kinds of distance he must assume from experience in order to recreate it poetically. He strives to discover an inner area that would allow for distance from the outer world without diminution of feeling, and closeness without a sense of being suffocated.;Keats treats interior and exterior space as twin mirrors that often are mutually reflective, and that become less and less distinguishable from one another as the poet progresses in his art. The positive force of this lack of boundaries achieves its finest expression in the last stanza of "Ode to Psyche," where the two worlds, barely separated by an open window, merge within the validating intellect of the poet. A very different kind of merging occurs in The Fall of Hyperion with the creation of an incommodious landscape that the mind dreams, but that the mind cannot control.
