Percy Bysshe Shelley
Percy Bysshe Shelley, , poet and husband of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley The only mature portrait of the poet to be surely authenticated was painted by Amelia Curran, daughter of the Irish statesman John Philpott Curran, in 1819 when the Shelleys were living in Rome where she was in residence as a student still learning her basic craft. Although thus the product of an inexperienced portraitist and never thought very true by Shelley's intimate friends, the romantic cast of the painting has had a marked impact on the popular conception of Shelley as an otherworldly aesthete. It was first reproduced as an engraving in , Volume 2 (London: John Murray, 1832), which is the version included here. The original is in the National Portrait Gallery, London.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
Percy Bysshe Shelley was born 4 August at Field Place, near Horsham in Sussex, the eldest son of Sir Timothy and Elizabeth Shelley. While he was a child his father became the region's representative in Parliament. He was brought up in privileged circumstances, attending Syon House Academy in and Eton in , where, an exceptional student, he remained six years. He claimed at Eton to have translated half of the Natural History of Pliny into English. He was in every way a precocious adolescent, and, for a time, he was consciously indulged by his father. Shortly after leaving Eton, for instance, at Sir Timothy's expense he published two volumes of verse Original Poetry by Victor and Cazire , coauthored with his sister Elizabeth, and Posthumous Fragments of Margaret Nicholson , both in as well as two Gothic novels Zastrozzi (1810) and St. Irvyne; or, The Rosicrucian ). These were eventful years in another sense as well. In the autumn of 1810, Shelley matriculated at University College, Oxford , where he was assigned as roommate Thomas Jefferson Hogg , who became his friend and sometime literary associate. In March of the next year both Shelley and Hogg were expelled from Oxford over the publication of Shelley's

Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Sonnet: England in 1819
An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying king,
Princes, the dregs of their dull race, who
Through public scorn,mud from a muddy spring,
Rulers who neither see, nor feel, nor know

Percy Bysshe Shelley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Percy Bysshe Shelley August 4 July 8 ) was an English Romantic poet, now most famous for poems such as Ozymandias Ode to the West Wind To a Skylark , and The Masque of Anarchy Born into an extremely wealthy family of Sussex gentry and heir to a baronetcy , Shelley received an education at Eton College and then went to the University of Oxford University College ). His first publication was a Gothic novel, Zastrozzi ), in which he gave vent to his atheistic worldview through the villain Zastrozzi. In the same year, Shelley together with his sister Elizabeth published Original Poetry by Victor and Cazire . After going up to Oxford, he issued a collection of (ostensibly burlesque but actually subversive) verse, Posthumous Fragments of Margaret Nicholson . A fellow-collegian, Thomas Jefferson Hogg, may have been his collaborator. In , Shelley published a pamphlet, The Necessity of Atheism , which resulted in his being made to leave Oxford, along with Hogg. He could have been reinstated, following the intervention of his father, had he recanted his avowed views. Shelley refused, which led to a total break between himself and his father.

Allora perché l’ “adoprar” degli uomini quando esso cela una sostanziale inutilità? La luna, che osserva tutto dall’alto, capisce il senso, ma per l’uomo la vita è una cosa sola: soffrire.
Allora, guardandosi attorno, il pastore vede ai suoi piedi il gregge e la sua incoscienza lo lascia incerto e si acuisce il suo dubbio. Se è così, egli invidia le sue pecore perché a loro il tedio è estraneo. La lirica quindi acquista un impeto nuovo, stupendamente appassionato: c’è il desiderio d’un miracolo che finalmente gli apra le porte della verità: se solo i suoi animali potessero parlare. Il Canto, così commosso, ha ora uno slancio che lo porta in volo d’aquila in mezzo all’immensità ma l’entusiasmo presto scema. La conclusione è di una sconsolatezza che accetta il destino, e si distende sotto il suo peso, immobile.
Come una sfinge, la luna, apparendo, genera attraverso tutto il canto, un movimento: dall’enigma –della sfinge appunto- verso l’interrogare ultimo che incenerisce il senso del mondo e dischiude , dietro la lingua, dietro il verso, il nulla: il nulla come infinità vera, come irridente fondamento dello stesso fantasticare e domandare.
Il notturno per il Leopardi gnostico e tragico è sostanza stessa del meditare: poiché il male che è la vita ha nella notte il topos più antico, e anche la più consueta figura.”

Nel “l’infinito” il poeta immagina di essere seduto dinanzi a una siepe che gli impedisce di vedere l’orizzonte; ciò gli permette di vedere con la fantasia spazi illimitati finché viene richiamato al presente dallo stormire delle fronde. Questo suono gli fornisce ancora una volta il pretesto per allontanarsi con l’immaginazione non più nello spazio, ma nel tempo, nel passato per evocare le epoche che si succedono e spariscono. Il suo fantasticare gli provoca una sensazione di gran dolcezza.
L’autore mantiene sempre il controllo della ragione. Il fatto che i verbi siano tutti al presente suggerisce una ripetizione abituale di queste azioni, egli è cosciente del suo fantasticare. La lirica è formata da quattro periodi, il primo e l’ultimo hanno un ritmo piano e discorsivo, mentre quelli centrali hanno un ritmo mosso e la loro sintassi è più complessa.
Leopardi vuole superare il limiti dell’esperienza umana e per far ciò, accosta dei contesti naturali, rappresentati dalla siepe e dei contesti mentali, dello stormire del vento per potersi proiettare negli spazi indeterminati, nell’infinito silenzio e nella dimensione dell’eterno; dimensioni nelle quali la fantasia trova dolce il naufragio. Per quanto concerne il paesaggio esso è ridotto all’essenzialità assoluta: il “colle” e la “siepe” che limita la visuale e l’ultimo orizzonte che funziona da stimolo per l’immaginazione.
Il poeta crea nel suo pensiero per via negativa, semplicemente opponendo allo spazio chiuso una vastità, illimitata, ai suoni e ai moti della vita, un silenzio e una quiete ignote.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
Despite his origins within the landed gentry, Shelley had concerns for social justice and these concerns manifest themselves frequently within his poetry, especially the longer poems. Read, for example, Ode to the West Wind to see him presenting himself in his chosen role as a prophet of revolution. This is not a comprehensive archive although I plan to add to it over time.

Shelley and His Age
n the case of most great writers our interest in them as persons is derived from out interest in them as writers; we are not very curious about them except for reasons that have something to do with their art. With Shelley it is different. During his life he aroused fears and hatreds, loves and adorations, that were quite irrelevant to literature; and even now, when he has become a classic, he still causes excitement as a man. His lovers are as vehement as ever. For them he is the "banner of freedom," which, "Torn but flying,
Streams like a thunder-cloud against the wind." Shelley said of himself that he was "A nerve o'er which do creep
The else unfelt oppressions of this earth," "As a shark and dog-fish wait
Under an Atlantic Isle,
For the negro ship, whose freight
Is the theme of their debate,
Wrinkling their red gills the while Are ye, two vultures sick for battle,
Two scorpions under one wet stone,
Two bloodless wolves whose dry throats rattle
