The Poetical Works Of Percy Bysshe Shelley Vol 1 Of 4

Excerpt from The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Vol. 1 of 4 In addition to these, his poems may be divided into two classes, -the purely imaginative, and those which sprung from the emotions of his heart. Among the former may be classed The Witch of Atlas, Adonais, and his latest com position, left imperfect, The Triumph of Life. In the first of these particularly, he gave the reins to his fancy, and luxuriated in every idea as it rose; in all, there is that sense of mystery which formed an essential portion of his perception of life - a clinging to the'subtler inner spirit, rather than to the outward form - a curious and meta physical anatomy of human passion and per ception.

Excerpt from Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley, Vol. 2 of 5 The Poem which I now present to the world, is an attempt from which I scarcely dare to expect success, and in which a writer of estab lished fame might fail without disgrace. It is an experiment on the temper of the public mind, as to how far a thirst for a happier con dition of moral and political society survives, among the enlightened and refined, the tem pests which have shaken the age in which we live. I have sought to enlist the harmony of metrical language, the aetherial combina tions of the fancy, the rapid and subtle tran sitions of human passion, all those elements which essentially compose a Poem, in the cause of a liberal and comprehensive morality, and in the view of kindling within the bosoms of my readers a virtuous enthusiasm for those doctrines of liberty and justice, that faith and hope in something good, which neither violence, nor misrepresentation, nor prejudice, can ever totally extinguish among mankind.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
