    Annotation:

    For Keats time is at once a vector with an objective existence apart from and independent of man, and a synthesis of all moments in time resulting from man's striving to transcend the temporal. Time presents a contradiction, but a contradiction that is both antagonistic and non-antagonistic: time as vector is an element of objective reality that man cannot change, and time as synthesis is a subjectivie construct where contradictory elements co-exist. The resoluction in art of the contradiction of time is characteristic of Romantic ontology, as it is of Romantic poetry. But whereas hes contemporaries remained profoundly dissatisfied with this solution and turned to Platonic notions of poetry as a manifestation of the immutable, for Keats art belongs first of all not to the realm of the immutable but to the temporal world.
