应该是独立自由的个体)

In it, emotion over reason, spontaneous emotion, a change

from the outer world of social civilization to the inner world of

the human spirit, poetry should be free from all rules,

imagination, nature, commonplace.

Two major novelists of the Romantic period are Jane Austen (realistic) and Walter Scott (romantic).

freedom from the reality. Compare the west wind to

destroyer of the old who drives the last signs of life from

the trees, and preserver of the new who scatter the seads

shich sill come to life in the spring. This is a poem about

renewal, about the wind blowing life back into dead things,

implying not just an arc of life (which would end at death) but a

cycle, which only starts again when something dies.

Comment: Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind" is written in

iambic pentameter. It contains five sonnet length stanzas, each

with a closing couplet. The rhyming scheme form is aba bcb cdc

ded ee. The tone is poignant. Many will agree that this poem is an

invocation for an unseen force to take control and revive life.
