end of queen man (Ianthe spirit goes into carriage and return to body, where Henry is next to her); to Mary Godwin, a difficult poem in that parts dont make sense, professes love for Mary and how she won him over even tho hes married; there are spirits of the air, a beautiful poem shitting on Coleridge for selling out and chasing another women outside marriage, but also describes Shelley himself

alastor is amazing; written on receiving a Celandine also great, shits on Wordsworth (again); hymn to intellectual beauty is a masterpiece, however Monte Blanc is not that good imo, couldn't really understand it. To constantia also very good, and Ozymandias is possibly the greatest sonnet ever written. May be overused today, but it is truly a perfect and immortal poem. every line is a masterpiece

a summer evening churchyard; the personification of silence and twilight taking over, along with the image of a cathedral; sonnet of Dante- Dante calling his friend guido to sail on a voyage that will take them to satisfaction (through writing); to Wordsworth- Shelley talks shit about Wordsworth and how he is a sellout to his liberal beliefs and the author laments his fall (absolutely brilliant);

Queen Mab canto ix. Shelley is an absolute genius, writing skills matched Byron and surpassed Keats, even at early time in career. Harold bloom was write by calling him basically the smartest guy to ever write a poem

read first two cantos of queen mab absolutely genius and visionary his development as writer at such early point in his career exceeds where Keats was during that point of his career by far (no disrespect tho)

no disrespect to Keats but def a superior writer than him. Harold bloom is write in his praise for him (though I haven't read any Byron) may be the greatest genius since Milton even with political views. that being said, The Retrospect Cwm Elam 1812 went completely over my head, along with most of the first 68 lines (first 2 pages) of Queen Mab
