परिशिष्ट can say whether at a definite time we experienced pleasure or pain. But we cannot bring the affection so vividly as we do events and images. SHELLEY'S INFLUENCE. "After Shelley's music began to captivate the world certain poets set to work upon the theory that between themselves and the other portion of the human race there is wide gulf fixed. X X X X Their theory was that they were to sing, as far as possible, like birds of another world. It might also be said that the poetic atmosphere became that of the Supreme palace of wonder-Bedlam." Alexander Smith's ambition was"To shoot a poem like a comet out, Far splendering the sleepy realms of night." Bailey, Dobell and Smith were not Bedlamites but men of common sense. They only affected madness. The country from which the followers of Shelley sing to our lower world was named 'Nowhere' by Bailey. Bailey's "Festus" and Browning's "Sordello" are examples of this 'Nowhere' poetry.
