Happy Birthday to Percy Bysshe Shelley, English Romantic poet, born on this day in 1792 in this house. "Field Place, Sussex and a Storm at Sea" (cut paper collage) amandawhitedesign.etsy.com #EarlyBiz #Shelley #Sussex #FieldPlace #otd #onthisday #elevenseshour

"Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you - Ye are many - they are few." Percy Bysshe Shelley, one of the major English Romantic poets, was born #OnThisDay 1792.

#OnThisDay in 1792, the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley was born in Sussex. Rebel, idealist and visionary, Shelley lived a life as dramatic as his poetry. But it’s the story of his death, and what happened after, that still captures imaginations today.

🎂 Today would be Shelley’s 233rd birthday — Horsham’s most famous son & one of the greatest Romantic poets. “Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.” We’re building a public memorial in his birthplace to honour his legacy. 💛 Donate: shelleymemorialproject.co.uk/donate
