    I, as an Italian who loves poetry and loves reading it in the original language, feel deeply inspired by this specific poem by Shelley. There is a deep and intimate connection between Shelley and Italy, especially evident for those, like me, who have bathed since childhood in the sacred and magical waters of the Gulf of Poets of Lerici, waters in which Shelley lost his life. Thank you for this wonderful read..
    “Oh Beauty
    Thou no longer dwell
    Midst the gales and billows
    Of this deuced spittle of mud
    We sulky human vermins
    Stubbornly call Earth
    So hie thou then
    In your vernal wondrous vesture
    Unto the halcyon verdant vale
    We, lost rebel souls,
    Desperately call eternity"

    Superb, grim rage and golden English language. Words are power, we should pay heed. A wonderful outlet for my grim rage. Thank you Mr.Wood for setting the cornerstone. Geraldine

      So true. I am God and king and law. Always makes me think of the pedo priest of primary school, and his power, undiminished by revelations.
