At the San Francisco Airport
By Yvor Winters
To my daughter, 1954
This is the terminal: the light Gives perfect vision, false and hard; The metal glitters, deep and bright. Great planes are waiting in the yard— They are already in the night.
And you are here beside me, small, Contained and fragile, and intent On things that I but half recall— Yet going whither you are bent.
I am the past, and that is all.
But you and I in part are one: The frightened brain, the nervous will, The knowledge of what must be done, The passion to acquire the skill To face that which you dare not shun.
The rain of matter upon sense Destroys me momently. The score: There comes what will come. The expense Is what one thought, and something more— One’s being and intelligence.
This is the terminal, the break. Beyond this point, on lines of air, You take the way that you must take; And I remain in light and stare In light, and nothing else, awake.

Read the lines from "when i have fears" and answer the question. when i have fears that i may cease to be before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain, before high piled books, in charact'ry, hold like richgarners the full-ripen'd grain . . to fully understand the metaphor keats uses in these lines, readers must know that "garners" means the things that are harvested the places where harvests are stored the praises one receives for abundant harvests the people who own the harvests
