England in 1819

An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying King; Princes, the dregs of their dull race, who flow Through public scorn,—mud from a muddy spring; Rulers who neither see nor feel nor know, But leechlike to their fainting country cling Till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow. A people starved and…

a lot of people lament bysshe's treatment of women & that's fair enough, but i'd argue that he wasn't so bad for a white bloke born into wealth on this day in 1792. happy percy bysshe shelley day to all his lovers - alive or dead, platonic or otherwise. :)
