Happy birthday, Percy Bysshe Shelley! Born on this day in 1792, Shelley wrote the Mask (or Masque) of Anarchy, a scathing satire on the hypocrisy of the English government and a call for true democracy, in 1819, after news of the Peterloo Massacre reached him in Italy.

Today's twitter has been mainly characterised by right-wingers and liberal centrists making snarky remarks about the quality of Jeremy Corbyn's poetry, then discovering he was actually quoting a Shelley poem and quietly deleting their tweets because they make them look like the thundering philistines they are.

Sometimes... rarely, but sometimes... I miss that place.

RonDeSantiAss

I met a traveller from a frantic land,
Who said—“Two vast and charmless knobs of bile
Stand in a desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered campaign lies, whose style
And audience reach, and high-tech free-speech brand,
Tell that its planners, lacking for a clue
Yet forged ahead, launched on the Dying Bird
That coughed its feeble streaming breaths to few;
And on the launch review, these words appear:
‘My name is RonDeSantiAss, The UnWoke Word;
Look on my Works, ye MAGAs, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of Musk-encrusted dreck, heartless and bare,
The dank and viral memes stretch far away.”

JMW Turner's #painting for #Shelley's #poem The Mask of #Anarchy

"I see a mighty Darkness filling the seat of power, and rays of gloom dart round, as light from the meridian Sun, ungazed upon and shapeless -- neither limb nor form -- nor outline, yet we feel it is a living Spirit."

This is interesting: "The Celestial Omnibus" short story by E.M. Forster (1912).

https://monadnock.net/forster/omnibus.html

It really reminds me, in theme, tone, and treatment, of stories by Neil Gaiman, which is not something I expected from Forster (but of course, I'm absolutely no expert on Forster, though I've read several of his books).

Anyway, I enjoyed it, and it is interesting to wonder: if Gaiman were writing 100+ years ago, what would it look / sound like?

Searching a bit I see it's been adapted as a play at least once. (https://www.theatre22.org/)

A slight #GothHunt tangent today: after they returned from Switzerland #shelley and Mary Godwin (as she still was) lived in #Bath for a while; while Mary appears to have lived at the Abbey Churchyard apartment she addressed her letters from 12 New Bond Street. Her half-sister Claire Clairemont did reside here, and gave birth to Byron’s daughter Allegra here. #poets #romantics #byron #gothic

Super excited to have ordered a copy of Chris Washington's first Norton Critical Edition of #Shelley's The Last Man. I want to design a course on plagues and epidemics in literature

#Shelley
British writer, philosopher, and advocate of women's rights.[2][3] Until the late 20th century, Wollstonecraft's life, which encompassed several unconventional personal relationships at the time, received more attention than her writing. Today Wollstonecraft is regarded as one of the founding feminist philosophers, and feminists often cite both her life and her works as important influences.

No man has a right to monopolise more than he can enjoy; what the rich give to the poor, whilst millions are starving, is not a perfect favour, but an imperfect right.

'To The Moon' by Percy Bysshe Shelley

And, like a dying lady lean and pale,
Who totters forth, wrapp'd in a gauzy veil,
Out of her chamber, led by the insane
And feeble wanderings of her fading brain,
The moon arose up in the murky east,
A white and shapeless mass...
