How is the cloud personified by Percy Shelley?
Well Im not too sure about that answer. Was it a joke? The cloud, like the leaves in Ode to the West Wind, and the skylark in To a Skylark, is what Shelley wishes he can be in order to advocate and incite revolution on a wider scale. Shelley has been described as an ineffectual angel. His ability to speak his mind and overtly and covertly incite revolution in his revolutionary and romantic poetry was not famous whilst he was alive. The cloud his what he wishes to be so that he is able to incite revolution effectively.
