    I've never felt so close to Shelley untill now. It was as if, I felt him by the time we reached the end of the poem. I feel so connected to him now. He is surely immortal ❤️❤️

    I think the another meaning of the 4th stanza is - when he said "if even i were in my boyhood" refers to his boyhood in london and saying if he was in london then , he wouldn't call the west wind to pass his messages, he would himself go to the battle land and revolt, he then wouldn't need west wind to help him out to spread his message.

    Understanding literature definitely varies on how you look at the piece and I'm so glad i could find your channel ma'am. Thank you for making us think in depth about every word and every expression, we in general would have probably just overlooked. Thank you for making the texts easier for us to grasp. the outro almost made me tear up, the way you compared everyone who's rebellious in life and denies to go with the flow of the world with Shelley. Thank you so much, will look forward to learn so much from you about literature and life as i grow up.

    Whenever I come across teachers who explain complex pieces with tremendous simplicity, I fall in love with literature once again. Thank you so much for this fabulous explanation ma'am. Deeply grateful to you for putting in so much efforts and carving out time to make this poem comprehensible. Honestly I began this poem with an intention to score in the exams, but turns out I enjoyed the process so much, that marks just don't matter now!
    Looking forward to cover up 'History and Literature', one of my most dreaded topics, this summer, right from your playlists! Thank you so much. Lots of love ❤️🙂🙃.
