Alastor: Or, The Spirit Of Solitude Comments

" The passionate tumult of a clinging hope nature's vast frame, the web of human things, Birth and the grave, that are not as they were" One of the best as well as longest poems of P.B.Shelley unfolding the abundance of marvels in the nature.Indeed, a remarkable classic poem.

I remember to have read this long piece of poetry way back in 1990 as a part of my PG course curriculum. I could take my time to recapitulate my understanding. The spirit of solitude is is depicted in a very integrated way taking different and distinct facets in its fold. The poet's obedience to light provides real spark to the work! Great work by great Shelley!

A splendid piece of work by the Master Of Poetry! Epic Poem!

Revolutionary romantic poet Shelley writes classical poetry brief or long; this is one of a kind so to read and enjoy!
