Adonais: An Elegy on the Death of John Keats is a poem written by the renowned English Romantic poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley. The elegy was written in honor of the death of John Keats, a fellow Romantic poet, who died at the young age of 25 due to tuberculosis. The poem is divided into five cantos and is written in the form of a pastoral elegy, which is a type of elegy that is set in a rural or natural setting. Shelley uses this form to mourn the death of Keats and to reflect on the nature of poetry and the role of the poet in society. The elegy is filled with vivid and beautiful imagery, as Shelley describes the natural world and its connection to the human experience. He also explores the themes of mortality, immortality, and the power of art to transcend death. Throughout the poem, Shelley addresses Keats directly, expressing his admiration for his poetry and lamenting the loss of such a talented young poet. He also criticizes the literary establishment of the time, which he believes failed to recognize Keats' genius. Adonais: An Elegy on the Death of John Keats is considered one of Shelley's greatest works and is a testament to his skill as a poet and his deep admiration for his fellow Romantic poet.Most Musical Of Mourners, Weep Again!
