| | Adonais |
 | | Then it is a lot of meditation on the death of Adonais, his corpse, and his childless mother, Urania. | | | The last line of the poem I think sums up the end point of the elegy perfectly, "The soul of Adonais, like a star,/ Beacons from abode where the eternal are." I think that this elegy by Shelley fits the example of an elegy and gives a good tribute to Keats. | | | Then the poet/narrator realizes that Adonais is not really dead, because now he is alive with nature. |

| | "Adonais" |
| | Shelley is romanticizing the death of Keats as Adonais in this elegy by using much of the same manners that Milton did in his elegy, "Lycidas." In both poems, the poets use references to the mythological realm. | | | The poem centers around the death of Adonais, which is a play on the Adonis character from Greek mythology. | | | Adonis was known for being a young and beautiful creature. |

| | Literary Encyclopedia: Adonais |
| | Shelley is intent on securing Adonais “among the sons of light” (36) and Keats among the literary Titans of Shakespeare, Milton, and Dante. | | | Adonais was occasioned by the death of John Keats on 23 February 1821 and is ranked alongside John Milton's Lycidas (1638), Philip Sydney's Astrophel (1595), and Thomas Gray's Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard (1751) in the great tradition of English pastoral elegy. | | | Shelley must, if he seeks out Adonais, pass beyond those deaths of his literary ancestors and contemporaries, or even the painful loss of his own child, to a direct confrontation with his own death. |

| | Percy Shelley: Adonais: An Elegy on the Death of John Keats |
| | 'Adonais' was composed as a pastoral elegy, specifically in the tradition of Milton's beautiful 'Lycidas'. | | | Most critics believe Shelley modeled 'Adonais' upon Virgil's tenth Eclogue, Bion's elegy on the classical hero Adonis, and the anonymous elegy on Bion himself. | | | He had studied and translated many classical elegies himself; he had also read and admired Milton's 17th century interpretation of the form in 'Lycidas'. |

| | Adonais |
| | Possibly in using the name 'Adonais' he intended to refer the reader indirectly to the 'Adonis' of Bion; and he prefixed to the preface of his poem, as a motto, four verses from the Elegy of Moschus upon Bion. | | | The Cyprian Aphrodite is the bride of Adonis, and as such she bewails him: the Uranian Aphrodite is the mother of Adonais, and she laments him accordingly. | | | To say that the poet Keats, figured as Adonais, was son to one of the Muses, appears so natural and straightforward a symbolic suggestion as to command summary assent. |

| | Adonais: Shelley’s Ironic Sublime |
| | The concluding stanza of the song, by explicitly comparing Adonais with the sun in an elaborate conceit, characterizes him as a source of intellectual light whose position determines the permeability of veils for lesser poetic beings: | | | He does not, like Urania, suffer a lack of vision, but neither is he, like Adonais, a master of veils: "he, as I guess, / Had gazed on Nature’s naked loveliness" (31.274-75) and yet at the same time he is described as "A Love in desolation masked;--a Power / Girt round with weakness. | | | The figure of Shelley himself, or his elegiac speaker, (it is difficult but necessary to distinguish the two) appears midway between the extremes of Urania and Adonais. |

| | Criticism: Mirroring the Future Adonais, Elegy, and the Life in Letters - Critical Essay |
| | In History, Theory, Trauma: Representing the Holocaust, LaCapra argues that a successful work of mourning--one that honors the dead and avoids denial--must recognize "loss that cannot be made good: scars that will not disappear and even wounds that will not heal."(4) In History and Memory after Auschwitz, LaCapra expands on this notion. | | | Alastor, the long elegiac poem that anchors Shelley's first published poetic work, comes closer to fitting the traditional pattern. | | | Adonais is not suicidal, but the life that it saves is a life in letters, one that lives and breathes--if it breathes at all--within the institutional structures and strictures that bind writers and readers in the public sphere. |

| | Lyrics: Adonais |
| | Adonais: A poetical name given by Shelley to the poet Keats (1796-1821), on whose untimely death he wrote a monody bearing this name for its title. | | | The name was coined by Shelley probably to hint an analogy between Keat's fate and that of Adonis. | | | To view all of the albums in order of fan ranking, check out the ranked song list. |

| | Then the face of the Greek god Apollo appears and he invites Kirk and the crew down to a planet to worship him for eternity. | | | In addition to the interesting idea that the Gods may have been real, we have the very real themes of 1) the pros and cons of hero worship/letting others make decisions for you, 2) the quest for power, and 3) the pros and cons of a simple, care-free life. | | | There is nothing like the REALLY old time religion, as Kirk and crew discover in "Who Mourns for Adonais?" The Enterprise is just going merrily along through space when a giant hand grabs the ship. |

| | Re: Shelley's Adonais |
| | For Adonais, "the mountain shepards came", "The Pilgrim of Eternity...came" and "came one frail form." Shelley showed also a turn from grief to consolation when he wrote, "He lives, he wakes-'tis Death is dead, not he;/Mourn not for Adonais." | | | Even though I was not certain of what an elegy consisted, it is clear that "Adonais" shows these characteristics in honoring Keat's memory and works. | | | In his poem "Adonais" Shelley sought to do what the Longman Anthology says is the "standard protocol" of a pastoral elegy, to honor a subject. |
