Percy Shelley is the lesser know of the Shellys. Though he wrote some fabulous poetry. If you have not already, I hope you get a chance to read his work.

Well, this is apposite!
This poem, Shelley's "Alastor; or, The Spirit of Solitude" is an old friend of mine. I am reminding myself that Alastor is not the character's name but the ancient Greek word for an avenging spirit.
I am introverting hard today after spending yesterday in a room with six other writers. (It was a great day!)
For the bicentennial anniversary: From his poem 'The Mask of Anarchy' written as a response to the St. Peter's Field Massacre in Manchester, UK on 16th August 1819.

Two hundred years to the day since the Peterloo Massacre, on occasion of which Shelley wrote "The Masque of Anarchy".
