What is the explanation of the poem lamia by john keats?

In: Poetry, Mark Twain [Edit categories]

Answer:

In my humble opinion, the poem is an allegory of life in which u cant separate sensual life from reasoning. Lycius couldn't resist his senses and was seduced by Lamia. His reasoning was lost because of her beauty. but her beauty wasnt real as she used to be a serpent and now she is 'disguised' by a real woman.
