lovely. poetry read aloud gives the words wings. i did not know he died young.
'...As this has been a particularly dark week in the history of this country, I wanted to share the last two verses of the poem today...'(article)
What wasn't he doing that week? Can't recall.
'...Scatter, as from an unextinguished hearth
Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!
Be through my lips to unawakened Earth
The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?...'(article)
'...Shelley knew, he knew, that he would prevail.
I feel the same way...'(article)
