WHEN I have fears that I may cease to be               #10
                  Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
            Before high piled books, in charact'ry,
                  Hold like rich garners the full-ripen'd grain;
            When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
                  Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
            And think that I may never live to trace
                  Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
            And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!
                  That I shall never look upon thee more,
            Never have relish in the faery power
                  Of unreflecting love!--then on the shore
            Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
            Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.
                                                        -- John Keats              TO  EXAMPLE #11
