This collection is a gem. All of Shelley's works in my Kindle. It is beautiful to walk to the park, sit under my favorite tree, feel the sun, hear the birds, bare feet in the grass, and allow his verse to transport the mind into the true eternal unfathomable spiritual aspect of Nature. He can communicate to us, the experience of the Divine Poetic Consciousness, and allow us a glimpse into what we might otherwise never perceive. His verse can b.
