Re: FSI
sShelley was indeed incredible. Thanks FSI for the read. I've not been able to read and comment on so many of you, I was sort of overworked.

Re: Aba
Yes, those who aspire to take humanity to better places. I had once written a paper on Shelley's Utopia and Gandhi's Sarvodaya. Their ideas so different yet so pragmatically convergent, it left me surprised and breathless. Thank you so much Presta. You are a real dear one.

Beautiful, Aba. I think for me this poem builds upon itself as it continues and flows. Shelley has become the skylark, and it to me can be read as a metaphor for poets, writers, artists, and also for those who take us to better places, who cheer us; those who wish to view, are able to view, consciously or unconsciously, the world as a stepping-stone to sail, to fly, to seek, to be within a higher realm. Thank you also for pointing out meaning of the length of the last lines of each stanza. As always, so well done and enjoyable. Thank you, again.
