  • Not long after, he made the personal acquaintance of William Godwin in London, and eventually married his daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. In 1816, they eloped to Switzerland to meet Lord Byron where they formed a group of English expatriates in Geneva. During this time Shelley wrote much of his finest lyric poetry, including Hymn to Intellectual Beauty and Mont Blanc. In Mont Blanc’s five stanzas, a first-person poetic persona addresses the mountain in its awesome majesty. In the very first line, he considers “the everlasting universe of things” that he senses from observing nature. Focusing on the mountain itself, with its crags, trees, and ice that together create something huge and sublime, Shelley finally concludes that the spirit of nature is in the mountain, which fills his mind with a welcome, silent solitude.
