Endymion

                         Endymion and Selene
      Endymion, a youth king or hunter or shepherd of surpassing beauty, is loved by the Goddess of the Moon, Selene. For this reason, the Goddess made him slumber forever to own him.
      Some of the poets say he was a king, some a hunter,butmost of them say he was a shepherd. All poets are agree that he was a youth of surpassing beauty.
      In all the stories about him he sleeps forever, immortal, but never conscious. It is said that this magic slumber was Selene doing. She lulled him to sleep so that she might always find him and caress him as she pleased. But is is asid, too, that her passion brings her only a burden of pain, fraught with many sighs.
      Selene, in the later poets, Artemis is identified with Hecate. She is "the goddess with three forms," Selene in the sky, Artemison earth, Hecate in the lower world and in thw world above when it is wrapped in darkness.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
Forward:
     I. A poet "Ode to the West Wind"
     II. A Revolutionary
     In "Ode t the West Wind," we have a strong suggestion of shelley's spirit. The very spirit of nature, as reflected in the cloud, the moonrise, the wind, the sunset, seeing to have possessed him. At such times, he is a ture poet.
      At other times, he is also a revolutionary. He joins Byron in voicing his vain rebellion against society. Byron's rebellion took the form of bitterness and defiance; Shelley was quiet and modest. His rebellion took a form of an inner rage.
      IN award, Shelley's poetry is pure lyricism, full of ryhthm and melody, no other English poet is more musical.
His Life
     I. Nicknames
         A. " Mad Shelley"

He came from a wealthy family, as a boy, he recieved the nickname, " Mad Shelley" because of his sensitive nature and lively imagination. He often reacted to his boyhood experiences with exaggerated emotionalism, and Shelley had a second nickname, Shelley, the "Atheist", because of his refusal of to conform to any religions.

III.)      In 1816, Shelley returned to England, in the same year, Harriet committed suicide, she drowned herself in the Hyde Park. Shelley married Mary immediatedly. The public indignation against Shelley rose high, and the court deprived him of his children. In 1881, Shelley went to Italy, and never returned.

His body recovered and cremated, his bone ashes were placed in the " Protestment Cemetery at Rome, near the grave of Keats, whose latest volum of poetry was found in his pockeet when his body was recorvered.
