A major new edition, freshly edited in many cases from manuscripts, of Shelley's poetry and prose. It contains the longer poems from Queen Mab to The Triumph of Life, including generous selections from Laon and Cythna, a wide range of his shorter poems, and much of his major prose, including A Defence of Poetry.

When you can‘t, when you won‘t quit your inner lit major heart 🖤

#QuotsyJuly18 Day 6: Shelley has a point about this #Kiss, being the most important, that is - in the larger scheme of things.

CarolynM I love this poem. Strange, though, I've always known that 2nd last line as "what is all this sweet work worth". I googled it and found both versions quoted in different places. I wonder where the changes came from? 6y
GatheringBooks @CarolynM oooh! i didn‘t even know it has been altered. perhaps modernized to make it more accessible? (edited) 6y

From “To a Skylark”
“We look before and after,
And pine for what is not:
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.”
