He hears "the sea breathe o'er [his] dying brain its last monotony" in one poem, and notes that "the flower that smiles today tomorrow dies" in another.
He hears "the sea breathe o'er [his] dying brain its last monotony" in one poem, and notes that "the flower that smiles today tomorrow dies" in another. In addition to "Stanzas Written in Dejection" and a version of "Mutability," he wrote a burlesque titled Posthumous Fragments of Margaret Nicholson. He signed his political tracts as "The Hermit of Marlow" and wrote Laon and Cythna, renaming it The Revolt of Islam. Along with Thomas Jefferson Hogg, he circulated The Necessity of Atheism, causing his expulsion from Oxford. Author of "England in 1819," "The Sensitive Plant," and "Mont Blanc," he wrote of "a traveler from an antique land," and a "blithe Spirit" to whom he hailed. For ten points, name this poet of "Ozymandias" and "To a Skylark."
