This is the exact way a poem is supposed to be taught. Every teacher can't make students feel the emotions of the poet. You did it Sir.

I agree with you entirely! If we can't enter into the poet's feelings we aren't really experiencing the poem.

[@shoppingandfashionideasins7199]

Sir can you please answer a question that how does shelly embody the west as a metaphor of transformation and social renewal in his poem

[@anosensei]

Well, first of all let's ask *whether* he embodies the west as a metaphor of transformation and social renewal, and then, perhaps, we can ask *how*. And, can I clarify, do you mean "the west" or do you mean "the west wind"? If you mean "the west" then your question seems to carry overtones of postcolonial theorizing, and I would say that, while we could look at the poem in that way, I don't think Shelley intended it in that way at all, so if that's your question I would answer, "He doesn't". But I think you probably wanted to ask about how he uses the west *wind*. If that is your question then I would encourage you to listen very carefully to the section from 2:22 to 2:57, the section beginning at 4:38, and the final section, beginning at 11:08. These sections put the poem in the context of social protest and revolution and I talk about Shelley's belief in the power of poetry to reform human society and change the world. The wind, being both "Destroyer and preserver", symbolizes the spirit of social reform - revolution, even - sweeping away the useless remnants of the dying year, spreading the seeds, and making way for new life. I hope that helps!

[@acm3410]

sir can you help me with my book question? it says "What qualities of the west wind are praised by the persona?" whatshould i answer? 😓

[@anosensei]

Well, first I suggest you go through the poem picking out all the different things Shelley says about the west wind. Then pick out the ones he specially seems to admire. Then try to identify some key words that sum up the qualities he admires. Any qualities that are repeated or described at length or paraphrased are likely to be relevant.

[@acm3410]

@@anosensei thanks! i actually find it hard to understand the poem with the deep english words so I struggled a lot since english is not my first language 😅

[@anosensei]

I understand. Just as an example, he calls the west wind "wild" twice in the first part of the poem. Do you think he is complaining about the wildness of the wind or do you think he admires it?

The poet William Carlos Williams famously said, "If it ain't a pleasure it ain't a poem". No matter how "great" it's supposed to be, no matter how famous, if it doesn't speak to you, then for you it isn't a poem. Find something else.

[@anosensei]

@@sasukegutszerolevialucod6927 No, no, I'm not offended. I'm totally serious! If you're not getting anything out of this poem, try another one. Not every poem is to everyone's taste. I didn't realize you were asking me to say more about the tone; I thought you were just saying you didn't get it. I think if I had to use one word it would be "exhilaration". I can just see Shelley out there on some windy hillside shouting out, "Be thou me, impetuous one!" It's like he doesn't care a damn how strong the wind is, or if it's cold or if it brings rain with it. He just loves the sheer energy and exuberance of it.

[@sasukegutszerolevialucod6927]

@@anosensei ahh ok thankyou..its because this is only the one need to analyze,its part of module of my niece haha..one of the question is what are the two mood on this poem ..and i also dont understand the other question ,what is the wind called in shelley's poem ?and my answer is preserver and destroyer but im not sure ..😅

[@anosensei]

@@sasukegutszerolevialucod6927 OK! Well, like almost every poem ever written, there is a tension between positive and negative elements here. The positive side is expressed through a sense of uplift; the poet wants to be raised up and carried by the wind: If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear; If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee; A wave to pant beneath thy power, and share The impulse of thy strength And the negative side is expressed through a sense of being downcast. The contrast is brought out most clearly in these two lines: Oh, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud! I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed! I suspect this is the answer the questioner is looking for, but the question is reductive. Why only two moods? We could answer that the poem encapsulates the spirit of destruction of the old, sweeping away the dead leaves, etc., on one hand, and regeneration, new life, the "azure sister of the Spring", on the other. Or we could say it is about oppression and revolution. And so on. As for what he calls the wind, well, he calls it a lot of things. "Destroyer and preserver", sure, but also "uncontrollable", ""Wild spirit", "Spirit fierce", "impetuous one"... Again, the question is reductive. It implies that there is only one possible answer, but there are many. If the teacher is just looking for one answer, and ticking the box for those who give that answer, then I would fault the teacher, or the examination system, or whatever. That's no way to teach poetry. But if these questions are being asked as a way of promoting discussion, offering students the chance to share their ideas and see the poem from different points of view, then that's fine.

@@anosensei Yes, Sir. You remind me of a Professor Chambers (from Rutgers) and a Professor Beatrice Spade (from Colorado) who taught me English literature in the early 1980s in Shandong. I didn’t understand much then, but the two of them surely blew some spring wind (East or west I’m not sure😃) and sowed a powerful seed in my dim mind. Only until many years later did I learn to appreciate uplifting power of English literature. Your reading of Shelly’s Ode is just so beautiful.
