"When I have fears that I may Cease to be".

Fears, fears; what do we understand by fears? My interpretation of fears might not be exact because worries are such personal feelings that it isn’t easy at all to get in to them. Examining the poem I realized that even thought this poem was written so long ago, it can be linked to our reality. Not only fear is present throughout the poem, but also death; which comes together with life. Life and death need each other; I guess Keats isn´t old enough to look back and be please with the life already lived by him. Everyone wants to be remembered and be transcendental, especially for what we do to make a living. Writing can be very appreciated by the world and at the same time it can be forgotten easily. Keats worst fears are the uncertainties that an inexpert young sick man that is seeing his life going away in front of his own eyes. “And when I feel, fair creature of an hour” these words are absolutely representative of feeling as just a minimum irrelevant molecule of this huge speedy world. Romanticism is clearly seen in this poem. God is not an option for the writer, he feels alone and useless.
What I can get from this piece of writing is to live as I were against the clock. It’s essential to leave our past footsteps in the present; to give our best for our wishes.

Kubla Khan

Kubla Khan by Coledridge is a visionary poem which represents perfectly the romantic period. Nothing is too white, nothing is too black. Man´s imagination is as powerful as God´s power. Nature is absolutely predominant in this poem as well as truth, faith, pleasure and imagination. I think Coledridge is a pioneer because he doesn´t write about ordinary topics or irrelevant issues. I guess he goes beyond everybody else during his writing period. His social thought stands for what everyone has ever dream of at least once during our life time. Kubka Khan might be the long expected paradise that is needed to contrast the civilized world where we live in. The green and peaceful piece of land where can be who we truly are, without any prejudices. I feel that this piece of writing has some biblical references; as the image of women, the presence of the snake, and of course the paradise.

The Little Black Boy

I liked reading this poem because it´s not so structured since you can get to perceive what the author wants to say and you have a bound to interpret it. I think that the most present key word deals with the symmetrical relation among all the important concepts through the poem. That is why I relate the poem with the picture of Ford Madox Brown called “Pretty Baa-Lambs” due to the fact the image that this masterpiece projects is as peaceful to me as the message of the poem. Both are full of equality where man plays an important role in the world. The poem talks about a reality where nothing is completely true or completely false. Spirituality and social issues are very prominent in the text so we can learn a lot from it.
