A description of the experience
Percy Bysshe Shelley – Selected Poems
The colours of his mind seemed yet unworn
For the wild language of his grief was high
Such as in measure were called poetry
And I remember one remark which then
Maddalo made. He said ‘Most wretched men
Are cradled into poetry by wrong
They learn in suffering what they teach in song’
