Shelley's Birthday (1792)




A day in need of a Bonnard . . .

Bonnard, the painter who is like the skylark in Shelley's ode, hidden behind the luminosity and inspiration of his painted song.

Like a Poet hidden,
In the light of thought,
Singing hymns unbidden,
Till the world is wrought
To sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not . . .
