This chamber of our bliss might seem a fortress by a haunted main, which shouting hosts embattled charge in vain, powerless to mar our kiss. Romantic revere for the indefinable ‘sublime’ presents the existential dread of uncertainty as something to celebrate rather than fear. Shelley proposes an alternative solution rooted in a return to nature and human emotions, positing that these elements can offer genuine happiness and delight to humanity The novel unfolds as a critical examination of the enlightenment era and the dominance of technical language games. Romantic poets love nature and celebrate in its various dimensions They wrote about the beauty of green meadows, thick forests, thin flowers, high hill, river banks, rural scenes, wild wind, fresh air, sun rises and sets etc
Almost all the romantic poets touched every scene of natural beauty. When the lamp is shattered, the light in the dust lies dead When the cloud is scattered, the rainbow's glory is shed When the lute is broken, sweet tones are remembered not When the lips have spoken, loved accents are soon forgot. Shelley is said to be the one using nature for symbols for his own thoughts and emotions
The ode for the centenary of shelley’s birth was first published by the williamson book company, of toronto, in december 1892, in a limited edition of two hundred copies.
