About Me |
|
"Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory; Odours, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken. Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heap'd for the belovèd's bed; And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on." Salutations, I am the quintessential romantic poet who rebelled against English politics and conservative values. I was born on 4th August, 1792, at Field Place, near Horsham in Sussex, into an aristocratic family. My father, Timothy Shelley, was an MP. I went to Eton and in 1810 attended Oxford University to read Philosophy. I was duly expelled a year later for publishing "The Necessity Of Atheism". My father, a conservative brute, withdrew his inheritance in favour of a small annuity, after which I eloped with the daughter of a drunken tavern owner. We spent the following two years travelling in England and Ireland, distributing pamphlets and speaking against political injustice. In 1813 I published my first important poem, "Queen Mab". Alas, my marriage to Harriet was a failure. In 1814 I travelled abroad with Mary Godwin, the daughter of the philosopher and anarchist William Godwin. Mary's young sister Claire Clairmont was also in the company. After my return to London, I came into an annual income under my grandfather's will. Poor Harriet drowned herself in the Serpentine in 1816, and I wasted no time in marrying Mary. I spent the summer of 1816 frolicking around with my good friend Lord Byron at Lake Geneva, where Byron had an affair with Claire. They had a daughter, Allegra. In 1818 we moved to Italy where Byron was residing. On the 8th of July, 1822, I sailed to Leghorn to welcome Leigh Hunt, and it was there that during the stormy return voyage to Lerici my yacht sank and I drowned. My body was washed ashore at Viareggio, where, in the presence of Byron and Leigh Hunt, it was burned on the beach. I was later buried in Rome (in the same cemetery as John Keats). Among my other popular poems are the Odes "To the West Wind" and "To a Skylark", "Invocation", and "Adonais", my elegy for Keats. Yours affectionately, MyGen Profile Generator |
