This is one of the best tributes I have read! You have touched upon the entire orbit of Shelley's life! How he started his life with Harriet, later broke away from her and eloped with Mary Godwin sailing away to other parts of England and unleashed his fiery spirits through poems that were tempestuous like the wild West Wind! I still remember having been inspired by his Song to the Men of England! His Prometheus Unbound has been another jewel! With Marie let me also say that 'ten thousand candles melted back to wax' is a wonderful expression! Finally he got buried in the watery bier at the age of just 28! A life though wasted is never wasted! A sure 10
A lovely tribute to Percy Bysshe Shelley detailing his tragic death in the sea. Shelley's poem Ozymandias is my best sonnet of all time. A well articulated piece. Thanks for sharing.
