Beverly (2)
( /ˈ pɜrsi ˈ  bɪʃ ˈʃɛli/ ) Was an English
  poet, considered by many to be among the
  greatest, and one of the most influential
  leaders of the romantic movement.
  Throughout his life, Shelley lived by a
  radically nonconformist moral code. His
  beliefs concerning love, marriage,
  revolution, and politics caused him to be
  considered a dangerous immoralist by
  some.
He was born on August 4, 1792, at Field
 Place, near Horsham, Sussex,
He was the son of Timothy Shelley and his
 mother, a Sussex landowner, he was the eldest
 of the six children. . He received his early
 education at home, tutored by Reverend Evan
 Edwards .
He was educated at Eton College but On 10 April
 1810, he matriculated at University College,
 Oxford. until his expulsion at the end of one year
With another student, Thomas Jefferson Hogg,
 Shelley had written and circulated a pamphlet,
 The Necessity of Atheism (1811), of which the
 university authorities disapproved. He had also
 published a pamphlet of burlesque verse,
 Posthumous Fragments of Margaret Nicholson
 (1810).
Four months after being expelled, the 19-
  year-old Shelley married his first
  wife, Harriet Westbrook, and moved to
  the Lake District of England to study
  and write. Two years later, he published
  his first long serious work, Queen Mab:
  A Philosophical Poem (1813). The
  poem was one result of Shelley's
  friendship with the British philosopher
  William Godwin.
expressing Godwin's freethinking Socialist
  philosophy. Another result of their
  friendship was Shelley's relationship
  with Godwin's daughter, Mary
  Wollstonecraft. In 1814, after separating
  from his wife, Shelley briefly toured
  Europe with Mary.
Returning to England, he produced the verse
allegory Alastor, or The Spirit of Solitude
(1816), which anticipated his later important
work. During another brief visit to the Continent
in the summer of 1816, Shelley and Mary met the
British poet Lord Byron. At this time, Shelley
wrote two short poems, “Hymn to Intellectual
Beauty” and “Mont Blanc.” In December
1816, three weeks after the body of his wife, an
apparent suicide, was recovered from a lake in a
London park, Shelley and Mary were married.
In 1817, Shelley produced Laon and Cythna, a
  long narrative poem that tells a symbolic tale
  of revolution. It was later reissued as The
  Revolt of Islam (1818). At this time, he also
  wrote revolutionary political tracts signed
  “The Hermit of Marlow.” Then, early in 1818,
  he and his new wife left England for the last
  time.
During the remaining four years of his
 life, Shelley produced all his major works.
 Traveling and living in various Italian
 cities, the Shelleys were friendly with the
 British poet Leigh Hunt and his family as well
 as with Byron. Shortly before his 30th
 birthday, Shelley was drowned (July 8, 1822)
 in a storm while attempting to sail from
 Livorno to Le Spezia, Italy. Ten days later, his
 body was washed ashore.
On 8 July 1822, less than a
 month before his 30th
 birthday, Shelley
 drowned in a sudden
 storm while sailing back
 from Livorno to Lerici
He is most famous for such
classic anthology verse works
as Ozymandias, Ode to the West Wind, To a
Skylark, Music, When Soft Voices Die, The
Cloud and The Masqueof Anarchy, which are
“To a Skylark” (1820), “To the West Wind”
(1819), and “The Cloud” (1820). Also greatly
admired are the shorter love lyrics, including
“I arise from dreams of thee” and “To
Constantia singing”; the sonnet “Ozymandias”
(1818); and “Adonais” (1821).
Percy Bysshe Shelley completed the poem "To a
  Skylark" in late June, 1820, and forwarded it
  to London to be included among the verse
  accompanying Prometheus Unbound published
  by Charles and James Collier in London.
It was inspired by an evening walk in the country
   near Livorno, Italy, with Mary Shelley, and
   describes the appearance and song of a skylark
   they come upon. Mary Shelley described the
   event that inspired Shelley to write "To a
   Skylark": "In the Spring we spent a week or two
   near Leghorn. ... It was on a beautiful summer
   evening while wandering among the lanes whose
   myrtle hedges were the bowers of the fire-
   flies, that we heard the carolling of the skylark.
." The poem uses a unique five line stanza with a
   three beat line except for the fifth line, which
   doubles the number beats of the other lines,
   and it has a rhyme scheme that is consistently
   'ababb.'
One of percy poem’s is
  “To The Skylark”
A skylark is addressed by
  the poet, who calls it a
  "blithe Spirit" rather
  than a bird, because its
  song emanates from
  Heaven.
The poet stated that no one knows what the
skylark is, for it is unique: even "rainbow
clouds" do not rain as brightly as the shower of
melody that pours from the skylark. The bird is
"like a poet hidden / In the light of
thought", able to make the world experience
"sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not".
