For #NationalPoetryDay we wanted to share this video of the late Julian Sands, reading from Adonais. Julian was a great supporter of SMP and lover of Shelley and Keats https://t.co/aZJSGVzQnb

As we approach October, Shelley's Stanza. If I walk in Autumn's even While the dead leaves pass, If I look on Spring-s soft heaven,-- Something is not there which was Winter's wondrous frost and snow, Summer's clouds, where are they now? Percy Bysshe Shelley

Visiting @HorshamMuseum we saw Shelley’s Ghost, a reminder of the Godwin-Shelley family’s literary genius. Mary & Jane Shelley preserved Percy’s legacy, with the 1893 Oxford memorial. 130+ years on, it's time Horsham celebrated its own Shelley Memorial? ❤️ #Shelley #Horsham

Great to see @wscountytimes cover @HorshamDC's consideration of support for the Shelley Memorial. But at yesterday’s Partnership meeting, we learnt the report has been pulled from Sept Cabinet. We’re working to get it back on track & will share community support options soon.

SMP’s @sarangipani recently read this gem in @Londonist 🖼️ — Louise Vine’s Ode to the West Wind mural on Noel St, Soho, with a blue plaque marking Shelley’s brief 1811 stay, and two more nearby murals featuring Shelley hiding in plain sight. #Shelley

"Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you - Ye are many - they are few." Percy Bysshe Shelley, one of the major English Romantic poets, was born #OnThisDay 1792.

#OnThisDay in 1792, the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley was born in Sussex. Rebel, idealist and visionary, Shelley lived a life as dramatic as his poetry. But it’s the story of his death, and what happened after, that still captures imaginations today.

🎂 Today would be Shelley’s 233rd birthday — Horsham’s most famous son & one of the greatest Romantic poets. “Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.” We’re building a public memorial in his birthplace to honour his legacy. 💛 Donate: https://t.co/0owbr9NOkC
