A. P. Bysshe Being a Romantic poet who incorporated the concept of revolution into his poetry, Shelley is also known as a rebel. As has been said for years, Shelley is still with us now because of his creations, particularly the artistic character of his poetry. Unquestionably, when we read Shelley's poems and other works, we may be able to understand his sensitivity and firm mindset towards nature as well as society. It is often considered that Shelley has great influence, is an idealist by temperament, and sometimes endorses revolutionary views. Being a sane writer who also writes revolutionary works, Shelley makes everyone reasonable in their thinking. He wrote poetry that was full of unbridled emotion and lofty imagination. His passion was imagination, and he explored the whole environment using it to collect sensations and connections that represented his ambitions and desires. In order to determine the pictures utilised in "Ode to the West Wind" and "To a Skylark," an effort has been made to do so in this article.
