Written after death of his son while Percy and Mary Shelley struggled with their grief in Pisa the poem consists of four stanzas with three sections charting the change of seasons. It is set in a garden bursting with blooms but highlights the sensitive plant-a mimosa-with its humble leafy foliage. Human will is nothing in the face of the impartial power of nature and time. First published in Prometheus Unbound and Other Poems 1820 here it has been reproduced with a delicate binding to match its subject. <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!"<br /> <br /> "The Riviere Bindery was one of the most notable and prolific shops in London's West End from about 1840 through 1939" Princeton. Bath-based Bayntun Bindery acquired the firm in 1939 transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery" which is still in existence and family owned. Robt. Riviere & Son unknown

A radical in his poetry as well as in his political and social views Shelley did not achieve fame during his lifetime but recognition of his achievements in poetry grew steadily following his death and he became an important influence on subsequent generations of poets including Robert Browning Algernon Charles Swinburne Thomas Hardy and W. B. Yeats. American literary critic Harold Bloom describes him as "a superb craftsman a lyric poet without rival and surely one of the most advanced sceptical intellects ever to write a poem."<br>The Shelleys moved to Pisa in January 1820 ostensibly to consult a doctor who had been recommended to them. There they became friends with the Irish republican Margaret Mason Lady Margaret Mountcashell and her lover George William Tighe. Mrs Mason became the inspiration for Shelley's poem "The Sensitive Plant" and Shelley's discussions with Mason and Tighe influenced his political thought and his critical interest in the population theories of Thomas Malthus.<br><br> Size: Small quarto.
