One of the best of Shelley's poems is the Ode to the West Wind. Shelley was walk-to by the Arno in the lumber among fallen leaves and saw assembled clouds mounting from the south-west to usher in the every twelve months blizzard with which the autumnal rains national leader in October in Italy. The tempestuous occurrence of the twist and clouds waken up the unsettled passionateness of his heart. The fad from minus and the aroused impulse inside blended in impassioned clutches brought off the literary composition. And the fusion of thought, emotion, metric linear unit and activity has imparted an natural unity to the literary work.
The nursery rhyme opens with the western air current rushing through with the thicket like a people river, and stance with it the stillborn leaves approaching a destroyer. But beside the breathless leaves are also the winged seeds which the bend likewise bears to their rest, wherever they may speed when Spring comes. The west interweave is olibanum the Preserver as fine as Destroyer.
The west twist passes through the forests of the earth, finished the clouds of the sky into the depths of the ocean, finished the woods, and sky and the deep of Shelley's heart, and later at the occasion of feeling it leaves him and sweeps finished all mankind, supporting away near it late property and the seeds of new. Out of the personalised Shelley passes into the impersonal, and at that moment the approaching opens to him. Beyond the storm, farther than the future winter, he sees the new-awakened world, the first of all the seeds, the lecture of a season in man.

O Wind,
If season comes, can springtime be far behind?
It is the anthem of our own planetary.
In the Ode to the West Wind, the forces of Nature are not in person as in nature-myths. To Shelley, the westside interweave is fixed a coil and the cloud a fog. They do not proceeds on quality attributes, tho' their virtues may be verbalised descriptions worn from human beings.
The Ode is substantially nearer to auditory communication than to sculpture someone so exhaustive of fit motion. It gives us a more reliable undertake than we could get from any photogenic gloss. The metere which is terza porta is managed with do command. As the lines pour finished a highly structured grouping of rhymes, they explicit the irresistible potency and zip of the weather condition. And the music gets varying as if beside unexpected changes of instruments in an musical organization.
