Write down the critical appreciation of the sonnet, “When I Have Fears." '
Ans:
In this sonnet, John Keats has presented some certain fears which he has in his mind. In this sonnet, he has expressed his fears about his untimely death. He is afraid because he may die before he has put his ideas on paper which he had in his mind. He wants to compose many books but his death will not allow him to do so. The heap of books would be a granary full of ripened grains. He says when he looks at the starry night full with huge cloudy symbols of high romance, he feels sorry because he would not live alive to enjoy these charming elements of nature. He would not be able to see the fair creature or his beloved’s face. His other fear was that he would not enjoy the beauty of stars at night as well as his beloved. At last, he finds himself at the brink of the world. He was emotional because of his fears about the above said duq to his incurable disease. He shapes his thoughts as:
When 1 have fears that I may cease to be Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain,
This is what but his emotional state of mind due to the fear of untimely death in his mind.
He would not enjoy the one-sided love. He finds himself among these fears and then standing alone on the shore of the world, he thinks that love and fame have no importance for the dying man.
