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.

It is really important to keeping mind that we can't live forever (that's a good point) One thought that haven't changed in human history is the one about transcendence...maybe that why we're so afraid of dying and the people who are more afraid are the ones who have done almost nothing with/in their lives...what do you think about that?
Take care,
