Do you agree with my thoughts on the ironies within the poem?

@fromisi5661 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much for this commentary. I am studying English literature in Spain and what a fantastic time to study anything, when you can access all this knowledge from any part of the world. I love this romantic period and the Victorian novels.

Shelley is such an amazing and interesting figure. Did you know he was a vegan? True that the word didn't exist in his time; he did use the word vegetarian and objected not only to the eating of animal flesh, but the treatment of animals on farms and wearing clothes made from animal products. A true free thinker and compassionate individual underlying his amazing ability as a poet.

Enjoyable, Thanks. Had a Professor of Literature at University---he, with 3 Lit. Phds., yes, 3 and working on a 4th---felt that at the ending of this poem, what Shelley underlying statement was: that the World should be in such a 'state of Zen', a 'state of Grace' that we though a Meditative Creation--Could live in a state-of-the-moment existence and have the Joy pined for in the poem. The Professor felt that Shelley expressed an unspoken Metaphysical, a Religious Euphoria of emptying oneself to live in the moment. Pardon dear Prof., if my meager detailing fails that what you expressed, over 50 years ago...but I have oft' kept that interpretation alive.

In my ignorance, I feel he longs for that freedom of flight and the bird song that seems without criticism. For me, the 'heavy winged bees' definitely smacks of envy🤣💐, he must be melancholy to doubt the sincerity of our mighty pollinators! Thanks... I really enjoy your work.

As someone who gave up English Literature, after barely passing my O'Level, in 1979, you have rekindled my love of fine writing. Thank you.

I agree very much with them, although I find your way of pointing them out to be more graceful than my own noticing. I have decided to call my first book of poems "Unbidden Hymns." Not because they have come to me without thought or craft, like the song of a bird, but because no one ever bid me, or asked me, to write them. Thanks for your work. It's like having a friend who gets into the same things you like. A respite from a weary world.

Our professor suggested to watch this video and wow. Listening you interpret it with such zeal felt good and made the poem more interesting for me. Thankyou. Lots of love. ❤️

Pretty sure that bird was actually saying, "Get off my grass!"😊

La Belle Dame Sans merci. The last line refers to his desire for the world to hear and then draw inspiration from the majestic skylarks ethereal sounds. They are a gift form God. P.S Are you actress Julianne Moore's daughter?

I'm in the middle of reading Romantic Outlaws and kind of obsessed with the lives of the Shelleys at the moment. 1820 was soon after the death of his daughter Clara and in the midst of a period of distance and alienation from his wife, not to mention that ruthless review in the Quarterly. So maybe another another narrative hovering beneath the surface of this poem is this kind of unexpressed lonely anguish, reflected in his attempt to grasp at the glories of the skylark and cling onto its tail feathers as it sweeps up and away from the earth, but his deeply felt misery and loneliness prevents him from rising upwards, so he sinks slowly back down lower and lower to earth, stanza by stanza, until he at last he falls back with a thud on this plaintive earthly all-too-human cry for attention and vindication and being witnessed by the literary world that seemed intent on rejecting him.

What an enlightening, wonderful explanation of this poem. One thing is to understand it in a personal way, another to expound it so cleverly and interestingly. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
