Evidence: | Thomas Westwood to Elizabeth Barrett, 1 January 1844:
'Shelley, I have read, through & through, & love & admire him as much, as I can do a man
who holds himself so far aloof from common feelings, & common sympathies -- There are
poems of his, which I never tire of reading -- the "ode to a Skylark", & "Alastor", & part of the
"Prometheus", & that magnificent first canto of the "Revolt of Islam", with the fight of the
eagle & serpent'.
