| | Ode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The poets of the Pleiad recognized in the ode one of the forms of verse with which French prosody should be enriched, but they went too far in their use of Greek words crudely introduced. | | | The ode, however, died in France almost as rapidly as it had come to life; it hardly survived the 16th century, and neither the examples of J. Rousseau nor of Saint-Amant nor of Malherbe possessed much poetic life. | | | His ode On God, often regarded as the greatest piece of 18th-century Russian poetry, was 15 times translated into French and 8 times into German during the poet's lifetime. |

| | The earliest English odes include the “Epithalamion” and the “Prothalamion,” or marriage hymns, by the 16th-century poet Edmund Spenser. | | | Roman poets such as Horace and Catullus imitated the Greeks' single-voice odes, but they wrote them to be declaimed rather than sung. | | | English writers of odes in the 17th century included Ben Jonson and Andrew Marvell, who wrote in the Horatian mode, and John Milton, whose ode “On the Morning of Christ's Nativity” follows Pindaric form. |

| | Jinny Ahn on Ode to the West Wind |
| | Notably, on the same draft that bears the last two stanzas of the 'Ode,' Shelley inscribed below it a quote in Greek, "By virtue, I, a mortal vanquish thee a mighty God." Some critics argue that this quote was an act of defiance against his critics and an assertion of his atheism. | | | His calling the Wind to scatter his "words among mankind" is more plausible hypertextually today, then during his own time and limited publication (only 250 copies of Queen Mab were first published). | | | 'Ode' is unique in its structure and its use of the complicated terza rima, which has a rhyme scheme of aba - bcb - cdc ded - ee. |

| | Patrick Mooney remaps Shelley's Ode to the West Wind |
| | In its exploration of the nature of prophecy, the relation of prophecy to poetry, and the relation of the poet to both, Shelley's particular inspirational force -- the West Wind -- requires him to work within the traditional mythological structure of the change of the seasons and the events associated with this change. | | | Once this has been accomplished, however, the poem turns immediately to shape its own reception in the minds of readers with a group of symbolic allusions that develop from -- and lend a coherence to -- the already-existing imagery of the struggle for control over and identification with the inspirational force of the poem. | | | The temporal progress of the poet's conception of his intended inspirational force, on the other hand, is much more complex. |

| | The surface of the poem is quite simple since the West Wind is the main character throughout the lines and the first three stanzas respectively deal with its action on the land, the sky and the sea which, on their turn, symbolically stand for the natural elements earth, air and water. | | | In the first tercet, as to remind the reader of the general presence of the wind all over nature, there is the simile between the clouds driven all across the sky and the decaying leaves of the first stanza scattered upon the earth. | | | since he isn’t telling anything to the wind but he’s simply describing is action upon the land, the sky and the sea; his request is pronounced in the fifth stanza only while the fourth stanza is used to describe himself and his relationship with the wind. |

| | RPO -- Percy Bysshe Shelley : Ode to the West Wind |
| | Florence was the home of Dante Alighieri, creator of terza rima, the form of his Divine Comedy. | | | The autumn wind Shelley celebrates in this ode came on him, standing in the Arno forest near Florence, just as he was finishing "Prometheus Unbound." Dante's Divine Comedy had told an epic story of his ascent from Hell into Heaven to find his lost love Beatrice. | | | Shelley completed both his dramatic poem and "Ode to the West Wind" in autumn 1819 in Florence, home of the great Italian medieval poet, Dante. |

| | However, he is unable to reach that conclusion and the result is that by trying to imitate the power and inspiration of the wind in his poetry he reduces it’s initial impact by doing so. | | | As a magician the wind works it’s magic throughout nature and it knows no bounds as the earth, water and air all feel it’s power. | | | This is followed by the same simile in the second and third stanzas when the effect of the wind is seen in the clouds, as they are shed "like Earth’s decaying leaves" (l.16)... |

| | Shelley and Keats |
| | The Romantic autumnal odes of Shelley and Keats are born from the poetic observations of natural changes and from their ability to penetrate the mood of fall which provides them a incentive for artistic creativity. | | | In the Ode the poet describes it as a power "^from whose unseen presence the leaves are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing^" (WW, 676/2-3). | | | Throughout the whole poem Shelley deliberately chooses the praises for the powerful west wind: he calls it "wild" (WW, 676/12) or "fierce" (WW, 678/61) spirit which is "moving everywhere" (WW, 676/12), and, moreover, calls its power "Uncontrollable" (WW, 678/47). |

| | Notes to "Ode to the West Wind" |
| | The poet describes vividly the activities of the west wind on the earth, in the sky and on the sea, and then expresses his envy for the boundless freedom of the west wind, and his wish to be free like the wind and to scatter his words among mankind. | | | The English odes are generally of three types: (1) the Pindaric ode, following the pattern originated by the ancient Greek poet Pindar, (2) the Cowley-style ode, named after Abraham Cowley, an English poet of the 17th century, and (3) the Horatian ode, named after the ancient Roman poet Horace. | | | "Destroyer and Preserver"--the west wind is considered the "Destroyer," for driving the last sings of life from the trees; it is considered the "Preserver" for scattering the seeds which will come to life in the spring. |

| | But no, he is not the equal of his god, his mighty force of change and Nature. | | | Even as he appeals, claiming himself “One too like thee: swift, tameless, and proud” (56), he begs not to be like the Wind, but to be his wild deity’s tool. | | | Each of the first three segments of the poem ends with an “O hear!”---a cry, almost a shriek, which appears more a demand for his readers’ attention to his scenes of tumult than a cry to the Wind. |

| | In it, finally, we see Shelley fusing the airy imagery, the interplay of colour and light and shadow which are his poetic forte, with the philosophical and moral concerns that tinged his political life. | | | Despite his firm grasp of practical politics, however, it is a mistake to look for concreteness in his poetry, where his concern is with subtleties of perception and with the underlying forces of nature: his most characteristic image is of sky and weather, of lights and fires. | | | But in Italy, far from the daily irritations of British politics, Shelley deepened his understanding of art and literature and, unable to reshape the world to conform to his vision, he concentrated on embodying his ideals within his poems. |

| | The poem's main idea is held in suspension for 56 lines before the reader sees exactly what Shelley is saying to the west wind, and why he's saying it. | | | In the first four sections Shelley addresses the west wind in three different ways, each one evoking the wind's power and beauty. | | | Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind" appears more complex at first than it really is because the poem is structured much like a long, complex sentence in which the main clause does not appear until the last of five fourteen line sections. |
