Reading A Lament | Alexandria
Read A Lament by Percy Bysshe Shelley. Exploring humanity's deepest fears, Shelley's "A Lament" shatters our illusion of permanence. His radical insight—that nature's cycles mock our desperate grasp for immortality—feels more urgent today as we face environmental crisis. Yet within this bleak vision lies an unexpected freedom: accepting impermanence may be the key to living fully.
