Notes
Citation/reference: Shelley and his Circle, SC 166: volume II, page 809; Jones 85: volume I, page 106
Funding: Digitized through a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor.
Content: [From Field Place]; begins, "I wrote to you on Sunday . . . Reason have you to say that I was violent . . . I was Mad!" Includes the poems, "Sweet star! which gleaming oer the darksome scene" and "Hopes that swell in youthful breasts."
Content: The first poem begins, "Sweet star! which gleaming oer the darksome scene / Thro' fleecy clouds of silvery radiance fling'st . . ."; the second begins, "Hopes that swell in youthful breasts / Live they thro' the waste of time?" One stanza of the latter, beginning "Age cannot love destroy," may in fact be a third poem unto itself.
