A Dialogue Comments

Honestly, I can't understand this poem very well, which warm-hearted friends can explain a little to me? my mail: raffiachou@hotmail.com

[continued] I'VE rejected God and Heaven, so I'd be otherwise Lost …. in a void without love. AND, by MANY a sigh, I'd be tossed! So if Death somehow manages to …....…wrest me from this Earth, I'll accept Death's offer of a calm habitation. Yes, I'LL....give it a try. PERCY: Suit yourself, Dear Bri. (December the 17th, ...2017)

my response: Bri's Dialogue With Percy Bysshe Shelley….. [ Inspired By Poem Hunter's Poem Of The Day, A Dialogue, By Percy Bysshe Shelley, December 17th,2017; Short; Serious; Personal ] BRI: Percy, oh Percy, I feel you shan't cry for mercy.... to Death. After all, He offers: a calm habitation, AND... no groans of regret, ……….......not even a sigh! WHO could resist his hospitality? Certainly not I, ….Bri. [to be continued]...

Very interesting and dramatic dialogue between death and mortal. If we had the choice between living and dying one may pick either according to one’s choice. But we are not given that choice. Most of us still pick the life even though death may offer a calm slumber and relief from grief. Such is the power of love and life.

Was Shelley suicidal? Death is certainly a preoccupation in his work. Most people who can't swim don't go boating in thunderstorms. MM

This is my first time reading this, and it is satisfying in its many good images and weighty subject matter. From the title and first lines I immediately thought of Hamlet’s to be or not to be soliloquy and wonder if it was subtext for Shelley. He affirms what is resoundingly true—love is supreme always.

Victim of grief! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Such a profound poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley👍👍👍

Interesting to read. Well carved. I really enjoyed reading this word to word.

Oh! what a poem it is really enlightens me and my soul.....it's a dialogue between death and dust and the mortal at last submits saying if it be drinkable by any manner of death, I must moisten my throat with it......very outstanding........thanks for sharing

Interesting dialogue between Death and Mortal makes think about how can deal with death in world life! Shelley has a wonderful pen to compose energizing poems ever!

Great poem

The poem is great in its contents and meanings. Dares disputes with grim silence the empire of earth, and I fear dear destroyer I shall not repine..... The meaningful lines very interested.

Highly poetical with perfect artistry

I really enjoyed the poem. such a great write! :)

Wondrous! Sort of like Adonais, Shelley explains the multifaceted existence of life and death. At first Shelley disdains death as an enemy, but then begins to show its benevolence as an exit from a world no more better than death itself. But the human relents, despite his own persuasion into death's clutches, and decides to let the Earth savor his presence a bit longer.
