Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
u suck dude
if you don't recognize this poem without having to look it up you are a fucking pleb
that poem has nothing to do with this
it’s about time
shut up everyone recognizes it
Phew, good thing I recognize it
Where were you when OP sucked a fat dick?
>it’s about time
its about the impermanence of civilization.
and it has everything to do with the fire.
My first thought was, he lied in every word,
That hoary cripple, with malicious eye
Askance to watch the working of his lie
On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford
Suppression of the glee, that purs’d and scor'd
Its edge, at one more victim gain’d thereby.
Space echoes like an immense tomb...
due to the ravages of time
not only is it unrelated it’s such low hanging fruit i’d be embarrassed to post it
>poems have only one meaning, stop interpreting art!!
yeah poems do have a meaning, this isn’t revolutionary stuff
OP didn’t write that it’s Shelley
don't feed the plebs
he’s saying OP sucks because that passage doesn’t reflect the situation at all
it does tho. europe will one day be a ruin of itself, yesterday's dream. the burning of this cathedral is an omen of what is to come
Your level of reading comprehension is staggering
thank fucking god, those glass murals are beautiful
Cracks and reforms and bursts in the violet air
Falling towers
Jerusalem Athens Alexandria
Vienna London
Unreal
Encouraging to see the cathedral is doing well enough to make tweets.
I bet the Cathedral is secretly happy about the fire. She loves the attention, that stoney, medieval whore.
Everyone knows it dude, it was on Breaking Bad
I just finished reading Name of the Rose a couple days ago and a fucking church burns down. Am I God? Have my dreams caused this? I'm so sorry.
Phew
You are forgiven
I finished a short story last night about a priest who's church burns down...
The absolute state of this board to be proud of yourselves for recognizing a normie-tier famous poem. Shelley isn't even that great and if you think he is you've read like 5 poems in your entire life.
Shelley is pretty great though
He was just another romanticist who thought that working with canonical historical subject matter and putting in technically sound verse would make for perfect poetry. They're all the same and they're trash
He was a great romanticist poet though
faggot and sophomoric opinion
