Description

Adonais is a poignant elegy written by Percy Bysshe Shelley, published in 1821 as a tribute to his close friend and fellow poet John Keats, who passed away young. The poem is structured in the form of a pastoral elegy, exploring themes of death, loss, and the transcendence of art. Shelley's lyrical language captures the profound sorrow of mourning while celebrating the enduring spirit of the deceased. The title refers to Adonis, a figure from mythology who symbolizes beauty and the transient nature of life. Through richly evocative imagery and emotional depth, Shelley reflects on the relationship between the poet and their art, suggesting that while death may claim the body, the legacy of creativity persists. Adonais is not only an homage to Keats but also a meditation on the universal experience of grief and the power of poetry to immortalize those we love. Its timeless message continues to resonate with readers today.
