Chronicle In Favor Of Books The Complete Poems (Poet to Poet Series)

Over the next year you’re going to see a lot of updates from me about Percy Shelley
.
Shelley was a great man. He was a visionary. He was a genius. He saw the world, and he understood it. He saw beyond the idiotic structures that man has built; he saw beyond society and people: he saw to the very heart of nature and the romantic imagination, and he embraced it. Percy Shelley was a great man. Percy Shelley is my hero. His poetry is profound. It speaks to me on levels I didn’t think possible.

Imagine what he could have done if he lived another ten years. Imagine what art he could have produced. Imagine, imagine….just imagine. Shelley died when he was far too young. His like is rare. The world needs more men like Shelley.

What a true pleasure to write my dissertation on such a man.

I'm lying! I only read Prometheus Unbound, but that's all I got it from the library for anyway. This rating and review only hold for it.Well, Yeats called PU the greatest holy book of our time, but unlike Yeats I'm neither a poet nor a madman, so I may not be appreciating on his level. It also might be dated a little bit, in these post-revolutionary times, the hero-rebel is not the unimaginable symbol of human excellence it was for Shelley. That said, this is a perfectly realised love-song on

I think Ive read enoughwhile Id read shorter works by Shelley relatively extensively when much younger, I dont think Id yet had the sophistication to appreciate the import of the longer more philosophical works and maybe now Im too old to appreciate them! Im kidding, but I am pretty taken aback by how the philosophy in Shelleys work seems to be so in line with our own times.I'll say this, that aesthetically Shelley can be very beautiful and there are definitely interesting moments in Shelleys

Shelley is the poet who has moved me most greatly over the years. He was a skeptical visionary--a spiritual revolutionary who understood the limitations of human character. His favorite writer was the down-to-earth Montaigne. Shelley's lyrical poetry is among the best in the language, and is the most ravishingly musical I know. Some of his longer poems seem to be a bit less-well-known, though they're some of the most rewarding long poems since Spenser, and necessary for an understanding of

(Again i chose this edition because of the picture.) Shelley is as amazing person as he is poet. Did you know he saved his wife's life? Even if he and Claire did have a little "side project" going on, in comparison to most poets, yes i'm aiming that at you Byron, this guy was pretty faithful which is ever a good thing. Honestly, i could rant forever about this guy, he's my hero!I want his babies...

I'm rating the poet. Simply my favorite--for the compassionate and lonely Ode to the Moon, the feverish and exhilirating Ode to the West Wind, the stirring and powerful Mount Blanc, the irony, the contempt, of Ozymandias . . . .I have to admit it took an English professor to read Mount Blanc before I appreciated the power of that particular poem. I should probably look for audio versions of his poetry. Any recommendations? Honestly, my professor in 1970 read it and would not permit any

I always like to have some classical poetry to turn to when I don't feel like reading anything prose. For the past three months, that's been Shelley. Before that, it was Keats.I don't read these compendiums cover to cover, but, pick and choose what I feel like.If I were to recommend one Shelley poem that people may skip over, it would be Adonais, an elegy for Keats that, I believe, doubles as Shelley's own suicide note.
