Ozymandias - P. B. Shelley (Powerful Life Poetry)
Read by Vincent Price
Music by Slow Meadow
-
Percy Bysshe Shelley was one of the most highly regarded and influential poets of the 19th century. Shelley's poem “Ozymandias” famously describes a ruined statue of an ancient king in an empty desert.
This ambiguous ode carries between its folds heaps of philosophical matters; the poet uses a shattered statue to highlight the ephemeral nature of fame, vanity and power.
Nothing lasts forever. Glory, reputation, conquests or occupations, everything will come to an end eventually.

Love's philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley | 1819
“Love’s Philosophy” is a poem by the British Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley first published in 1819. The poem is a kind of seductive argument, offering proof of a “divine law” that the world is full of interconnectedness—and that therefore the speaker and the person whom the speaker is addressing should become "connected" too. Dominated by its central conceit—that love is a kind of union replicated in the natural and spiritual realms—the poem has more in common with works by 17th century Metaphysical poets such as John Donne ("The Flea") and Andrew Marvell ("To His Coy Mistress") than with works by the Romantic poets of Shelley’s day (and indeed to Shelley's other poems). Through ingeniously constructed images and metaphors, poets like Donne and Marvell sought to make the acceptance of...

"Love's Philosophy" by Percy Bysshe Shelley (read by Tom Hiddleston)
"Love's Philosophy" by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In another's being mingle--
Why not I with thine?
See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

Percy Bysshe Shelley poem ‘England in 1819’ line by line analysis & context | Romanticism poetry
Line by line analysis of Percy Bysshe Shelley’s overtly political poem ‘England in 1819’, which proclaims Shelley’s indignation at the oppression & tyranny, as Shelley saw it, of royalty (both the king & princes), the rulers, the army, the laws, religion, & PB Shelley’s hope for future revolution. The lecture starts by outlining the crucial historical context—the Peterloo Massacre of 16 August 1819 (where radical orator Henry Hunt protested against the government, including the Corn Laws, & argued for universal suffrage)—& then provides a line-by-line summary, explanation, & literary analysis of the sonnet. P B Shelley was a central figure in Romanticism, & his poetry, including ‘England in 1819’, embodied the frustrations at the social, economic, & political problems present in the Regenc...

"Ode to the West Wind" by Percy Bysshe Shelley (read by Michael Sheen)
"Ode to the West Wind" by Percy Bysshe Shelley
I
O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed
The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,
Each like a corpse within its grave, until
Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow
Her clarion o'er the dreaming earth, and fill
(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)
With living hues and odours plain and hill:
Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere;
Destroyer and preserver; hear, oh hear!
II
Thou on whose stream, mid the steep sky's commotion,
Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed,
Shook fro...

Stanley Marsh reads Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley from "Road Does Not End" (2006) by Todd Kent
From "Road Does Not End (2006) by Todd Kent"
(Actual reading of poem begins at 1:00)
Ozymandias - a beautiful reading demonstrating yet again that ordinary people love and read poetry, not just Oxford professors or students who 'have to' for their GCSE English Literature exam...
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside...

Percy Bysshe Shelley - Poem: 'To Night' read by John Neville in 1959
To Night
By Percy Bysshe Shelley
Swiftly walk o'er the western wave,
Spirit of Night!
Out of the misty eastern cave,
Where, all the long and lone daylight,
Thou wovest dreams of joy and fear,
Which make thee terrible and dear,—
Swift be thy flight!
Wrap thy form in a mantle gray,
Star-inwrought!
Blind with thine hair the eyes of Day;
Kiss her until she be wearied out,
Then wander o'er city, and sea, and land,
Touching all with thine opiate wand—
Come, long-sought!
When I arose and saw the dawn,
I sighed for thee;
When light rode high, and the dew was gone,
And noon lay heavy on flower and tree,
And the weary Day turned to his rest,
Lingering like an unloved guest.
I sighed for thee.
Thy brother Death came, and cried,
Wouldst thou me?
Thy sweet child Sleep, the filmy-eyed,
Murmured ...

“Love’s Philosophy” is a poem by the British Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley first published in 1819. The poem is a kind of seductive argument, offering proof of a “divine law” that the world is full of interconnectedness—and that therefore the speaker and the person whom the speaker is addressing should become "connected" too. Dominated by its central conceit—that love is a kind of union replicated in the natural and spiritual realms—the poem has more in common with works by 17th century Metaphysical poets such as John Donne ("The Flea") and Andrew Marvell ("To His Coy Mistress") than with works by the Romantic poets of Shelley’s day (and indeed to Shelley's other poems). Through ingeniously constructed images and metaphors, poets like Donne and Marvell sought to make the acceptance of an amorous proposal seem like the only logical response—the same approach adopted by Shelley here.
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?—
See the mountains kiss high heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?

"Ode to the West Wind" by Percy Bysshe Shelley
I
O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being,
Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed
The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,
Each like a corpse within its grave, until
Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow
Her clarion o'er the dreaming earth, and fill
(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)
With living hues and odours plain and hill:
Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere;
Destroyer and preserver; hear, oh hear!
II
Thou on whose stream, mid the steep sky's commotion,
Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed,
Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean,
Angels of rain and lightning: there are spread
On the blue surface of thine aëry surge,
Like the bright hair uplifted from the head
Of some fierce Maenad, even from the dim verge
Of the horizon to the zenith's height,
The locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirge
Of the dying year, to which this closing night
Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre,
Vaulted with all thy congregated might
Of vapours, from whose solid atmosphere
Black rain, and fire, and hail will burst: oh hear!
III
Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams
The blue Mediterranean, where he lay,
Lull'd by the coil of his crystalline streams,
Beside a pumice isle in Baiae's bay,
And saw in sleep old palaces and towers
Quivering within the wave's intenser day,
All overgrown with azure moss and flowers
So sweet, the sense faints picturing them! Thou
For whose path the Atlantic's level powers
Cleave themselves into chasms, while far below
The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear
The sapless foliage of the ocean, know
Thy voice, and suddenly grow gray with fear,
And tremble and despoil themselves: oh hear!
IV
If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear;
If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee;
A wave to pant beneath thy power, and share
The impulse of thy strength, only less free
Than thou, O uncontrollable! If even
I were as in my boyhood, and could be
The comrade of thy wanderings over Heaven,
As then, when to outstrip thy skiey speed
Scarce seem'd a vision; I would ne'er have striven
As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.
Oh, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud!
I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!
A heavy weight of hours has chain'd and bow'd
One too like thee: tameless, and swift, and proud.
V
Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is:
What if my leaves are falling like its own!
The tumult of thy mighty harmonies
Will take from both a deep, autumnal tone,
Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce,
My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!
Drive my dead thoughts over the universe
Like wither'd leaves to quicken a new birth!
And, by the incantation of this verse,
Scatter, as from an unextinguish'd hearth
Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!
Be through my lips to unawaken'd earth
The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

Stanley Marsh reads Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley from "Road Does Not End" (2006) by Todd Kent

From "Road Does Not End (2006) by Todd Kent"
(Actual reading of poem begins at 1:00)
Ozymandias - a beautiful reading demonstrating yet again that ordinary people love and read poetry, not just Oxford professors or students who 'have to' for their GCSE English Literature exam...
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley - Poem: 'To Night' read by John Neville in 1959

To Night
By Percy Bysshe Shelley
Swiftly walk o'er the western wave,
Spirit of Night!
Out of the misty eastern cave,
Where, all the long and lone daylight,
Thou wovest dreams of joy and fear,
Which make thee terrible and dear,—
Swift be thy flight!
Wrap thy form in a mantle gray,
Star-inwrought!
Blind with thine hair the eyes of Day;
Kiss her until she be wearied out,
Then wander o'er city, and sea, and land,
Touching all with thine opiate wand—
Come, long-sought!
When I arose and saw the dawn,
I sighed for thee;
When light rode high, and the dew was gone,
And noon lay heavy on flower and tree,
And the weary Day turned to his rest,
Lingering like an unloved guest.
I sighed for thee.
Thy brother Death came, and cried,
Wouldst thou me?
Thy sweet child Sleep, the filmy-eyed,
Murmured like a noontide bee,
Shall I nestle near thy side?
Wouldst thou me?—And I replied,
No, not thee!
Death will come when thou art dead,
Soon, too soon—
Sleep will come when thou art fled;
Of neither would I ask the boon
I ask of thee, belovèd Night—
Swift be thine approaching flight,
Come soon, soon!
