Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Journal of Edward Ellerker Williams: Companion of Shelley and Byron in 1821 and 1822 It is no small testimony to the intellectual distinction of Shelley that, after the immature period during which he was capable of taking a Hitchener for a Hypatia, almost all the persons admitted by him to any degree of intimacy, or who had any title to speak of him as a friend, should have been remarkable for their talents or interesting for their adventures. It is to be feared that he by no means complied with the Apostolic injunction to suffer fools gladly. Peacock tells how he lay down in a ditch to elude one unwelcome visitor, and barricaded himself in a friend´s house to escape another. Trelawny has been heard to relate how Shelley and he would be sitting in the topmost storey of a palazzo at Pisa, when there would be a ring at the ground floor, inaudible to all except Shelley, who would not only hear it but know whom it announced, and would start up in horror, exclaiming, "Trelawny! That´s a bore!" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
