Neat ink inscription on front free end-paper and a small gold bookplate. A fine example.<br/><br/>Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792-1822. In The Sensitive Plant Shelley has separated his poem into three separate parts and a conclusion. In the first part of the poem Shelley portrays a wondrous beautiful garden full of life and luminosity. Shelley uses several realistic depictions of flowers and plants to provide the reader with a detailed insight into the garden. These stanzas are full of details which helps one picture the garden that Shelley so beautifully illustrates through his words. As part one continues Shelley introduces a contradiction into the garden The Sensitive Plant. Unlike the other flowers this floweret is not vivid in color or shape and lacks the beautiful odor flowers are characterized for. Percy Shelley goes on to say in The Sensitive Plant.<br/><br/>"For the Sensitive Plant has no bright flower;<br/>Radiance and odour are not its dower;<br/>It loves even like Love its deep heart is full<br/>It desires what it has not the Beautiful!
