Notes
Earliest possible date is based on where Lord Houghton placed "Hymn to Apollo" in Life, Letters, and Literary Remains of John Keats. Cf. H. Buxton Forman, ed., The Poetical Works of John Keats (London: Reeves & Turner, 1884), p. xxix. Lord Houghton dates "Unfelt unheard unseen" to 1817.
Part of a Keats collection containing three autograph manuscript poems (MA 211.1 includes "Unfelt, unheard, unseen" and "Hymn to Apollo" and MA 211.2 includes "Think not of it, sweet one") and an engraving of Keats (MA 211.3).
The first page contains the autograph manuscript of "Unfelt unheard unseen" (3 stanzas), usually published as "Lines"; pages 2-3 contain the autograph manuscript of the poem starting "God of the golden bow" (3 stanzas), usually published as "Hymn to Apollo."
These manuscripts are probably fair copies since corrections are minimal.
