Ode to the West Wind is one of the most famous works of the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Shelley lived a crazy and irresponsible life and died just before his thirtieth birthday. I highly disapprove of how Shelley lived his life, but even I have to admit that he really had a way with words. This is one of the most beautifully written poems in English.
Ode to the West Wind is stunning and beautiful in its majesty. Dramatic language illustrates the majesty of the West Wind and the inspiration that it gives the author. This poem is not quiet or shy. It possesses a kind of beauty and presence that draws the eye no matter wherever you are.
Thy voice, and suddenly grow grey with fear,
And tremble and despoil themselves: O hear!
-"Ode to the West Wind"
Percy Bysshe Shelley
