Am I a dreamer? Or am I the good poet? Do I write for sect Or creed or to change worlds? Or, do I write lovely truths? Am I a man who Wishes to conquer, or am I a man who needs To understand Eternal Breaths and dark utterances? Do I want peace, or Do I wish to vex mankind With a paradise?
Every poet is a mixture of dream and reality. Man will never understand eternity. That is proof of God’s existence.

Yes, dad. Thanks for reading. I really enjoyed our discussion on it.
The question is posited by Keats, where Moneta in The Fall of Hyperion asks him the question. It’s my favorite piece by him. He received it in a dream.
