Samuel Taylor Coleridge 4. Shelley’s poetry Poetry the expression of imagination understood as revolutionary creativity, seriously meant to change the reality of an increasingly material world Performer - Culture & Literature

Samuel Taylor Coleridge 5. Shelley’s nature Unlike Wordsworth, it is not the real world. Nature It is a beautiful veil that hides the eternal truth of the Divine Spirit. It provides the poet with beautiful images, such as the wind. The favourite refuge from the disappointment and injustice of the ordinary world. The interlocutor of the poet’s melancholy dreams and of his hopes for a better future. Performer - Culture & Literature

Samuel Taylor Coleridge 7. Ode to the West Wind The wild autumn wind a living symbol of the spiritual forces able to regenerate the fading or decadent life of nations; to help heroic spirits; to scatter their burning words, ‘like ashes from an unextinguished hearth’, among mankind.
