Detailed explanation-1: -Central to the poem “Fear” by Gabriela Mistral is a mother’s anxiety about losing her child. This is, in part, a selfish fear as the mother worries that the child will become like a swallow and metaphorically “fly off” to be with others, teachers, classmates, friends, and not her.
Detailed explanation-2: -Keats expresses his fear of dying young in the first thought unit, lines 1-12. He fears that he will not fulfill himself as a writer (lines 1-8) and that he will lose his beloved (lines 9-12). Keats resolves his fears by asserting the unimportance of love and fame in the concluding two and a half lines of this sonnet.
Detailed explanation-3: -"When I have Fears That I May Cease to Be” is a Shakespearean or Elizabethan sonnet-a 14-line poem that typically has a rhyme scheme, ten-syllables lines, and a volta (or “turn"), which is a dramatic shift in thought or emotion. In a Shakespearean sonnet, the volta always comes after the twelfth line.
