Creation and Death: An Analysis of Keats's "When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be"

[@pauls.9228]

Beautiful reading and analysis of this powerful poem. I’ve lived much longer than Keats, but I face the same disillusionments and fears, that time is running out, life will soon end, and my life’s work will be all for nought. This poem haunts me…thank you for your sensitive reading.

Glad to see someone actually questioning time spent in our lives on the internet :my generation is from a simpler time when life was good and simple

Your voice is adding some more mystery and gloom to Keats sonnet

The warning of a foresightful dying young man -- who should have been in his prime -- not to waste time. Emotional gold runs through our fingers daily, and we don't realize until it is too late. That is the poignancy of the lost soul: I had it in my sites; I knew it; I felt it; but I failed to act. Now, it is too late.

I think you've captured the essence of the poem perfectly.
