Reading Stanzas–April, 1814 | Alexandria
Read Stanzas–April, 1814 by Percy Bysshe Shelley. Challenging nihilism, Shelley's "Stanzas" reveals how embracing life's impermanence unlocks deeper meaning - not through blind optimism, but by finding purpose in mortality itself. His radical vision suggests that facing our finite nature actually amplifies our capacity for joy and authentic experience.
