John Keats - When I have Fears that I may Cease to Be

March 4th 2008 08:45

Poetry of John Keats (1795-1821)

When I have Fears that I may Cease to Be

When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high-piled books, in charactery,
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.

hahaha, you know I will katyzzz.

An aside: Are you going to post any photo stuff? I am trying to figure out whether or not to use a large format camera to photograph my paintings and then digitize the negative to produce life size prints of my work. Or try to use 12m digital camera to do the work normally done locally with scanners (old Epson's). Wanna blog it?

I am not intending to post any photo stuff. For blogging I'd use the cheapest option available. You can always print anything you photograph then scan, or you can do it all digitally, the fewer conversions you have to make the better, the finer the resolution, the better, but whatever you do you're only going to get the usual size Orble permits and you don't want things to look pixelated and beware of BMP or PNG, no longer accepted by Orble's system.

If you're doing it at no cost, try out different options, you can always preview before you post and that gives ample scope for testing, deleting, substituting etc or even putting in three or more different versions to see how they compare, then when you've decided what to do, just eliminate the others and create with the 'chosen' one.

I hope this is helpful.

Actually I wanted to make prints of all of these last paintings, so that I can mail the 3 ea, I meter square prints to friends. But, keep it simple is always sage advice katyzzz.

I am all in favour of film for those, enlargements rarely are square, maybe with your camera you do print out square but you've got to allow for the shape of the painting.

Test with one and/or consult your local digital shop or ring around making enquiries, the larger you make it the more colour you lose, that's another problem.

You probably need a professional print job, that's what I have used, not cheap. You also need to consider the paper they will be printed on.

Not easy for a first or even second class job.

Is this helpful or are you ahead of me.
