	Adonais (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Adonais is the perfect example of an elegy.
		The first sentence of the poem is, "I weep for Adonais - he is dead!" This demonstrates that the poem is about death and that it expresses sorrow.
		The first example of this is, "Died on the promise of the fruit, is waste,/ The broken lily lies- the storm is overpast." This says that he is too young to have died and talks about his greatness.

	Criticism: Mirroring the Future Adonais, Elegy, and the Life in Letters - Critical Essay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Adonais, as it frames the death of Keats in the context of a vicious paper war, makes these concerns central to its elegiac work.
		What Adonais mourns--and celebrates--is not so much the death of an individual but rather the advent, which it figures as apocalypse, of reading as a cultural praxis, and the bearing that this has on the identity and person of the author.
		Adonais is not suicidal, but the life that it saves is a life in letters, one that lives and breathes--if it breathes at all--within the institutional structures and strictures that bind writers and readers in the public sphere.

	Criticism: Mirroring the Future Adonais, Elegy, and the Life in Letters - Critical Essay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Adonais thus allegorizes the fate of the Romantic writer offered up as written remains to readers whose gaze may cut and splice, rework and revise, the body of work before them, just as Shelley's own poem has done both to his precursors in the elegiac tradition and to the dead Keats.
		As Shelley figures himself in the frail form, casting himself as a double to the living/dead Adonais, he explicitly offers himself up to the same fate that he wrought upon (for) Keats, and situates whatever measure of immortality is available to poet or poem within the frame of its future reading.
		Adonais is thus not a poem about the life and death of people.

	"Adonais" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The poem centers around the death of Adonais, which is a play on the Adonis character from Greek mythology.
		In this poem, Adonais is John Keats, in that Shelley thought of Keats as this young and beautiful force in Romantic poetry.
		Shelley is romanticizing the death of Keats as Adonais in this elegy by using much of the same manners that Milton did in his elegy, "Lycidas." In both poems, the poets use references to the mythological realm.

	Michele Sharp: "Mirroring the Future" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		To understand Adonais, a poem so fiercely traditional that it seems anachronistic, we need to consider both its handling of the conventions that it inherits from the tradition of pastoral elegy and how Shelley's use of them reflects and responds to the condition of the poet in the early 19th century.
		Shelley's poem is driven by the profound shifts in the profession of poetry occasioned by the rise of print culture and a marketplace of letters.
		Where the manuscript circles wherein literary work circulated in an earlier age allowed writers a high degree of influence over both the material dimensions of their texts and how they might be read, print culture opened these intimate relations to third parties such as publishers, printers, and periodical review.

	HTML document for the World Wide Web
		To Phoebus was not Hyacinth so dear Nor to himself Narcissus, as to both Thou, Adonais: wan they stand and sere Amid the faint companions of their youth, With dew all turned to tears; odour, to sighing ruth.
		Adonais is notable also as an instance of shelley's developing version of neo-Platonic philosophy, and his view that the dead Keats is transfigured through spiritual ascension into the realms of the essential, the absolute, the pure and true, against which ordinary mortal reality seems but a poor and second-hand copy.
		In a sense, therefore, Adonais can and should be seen in more abstract terms, as a poem dealing with human loss and grief, and with the attempt to come to terms with and exorcise the grief for one is no longer with us.

	Adonais: Shelley’s Ironic Sublime
		Adonais is a joke, and the joke is this: that we can never be sure whether or not it is a joke.
		Where Adonais writ large may be said to fall under the dual regimes of professional advancement and idealistic apotheosis, so each one of these exemplars can be understood as "serious jokes," as simultaneously obeying two masters.
		In order to restore the symbolic value to Adonais which has been forfeited by his feminization, Shelley’s elegiac speaker first appropriates Urania’s parental role, dismissing her from the elegy, and then in the final stanzas of the elegy attempts to eliminate gender entirely from the symbolic economy.

	Adonais
		Hitherto we had been told that Adonais was killed by an arrow or dart—he was 'pierced by the shaft which flies in darkness,' and the man who 'pierced his innocent breast' had incurred the curse of Cain: he had 'a wound' (stanza 22).
		Possibly in using the name 'Adonais' he intended to refer the reader indirectly to the 'Adonis' of Bion; and he prefixed to the preface of his poem, as a motto, four verses from the Elegy of Moschus upon Bion.
		The finest things are to be found in the denunciation of the 'deaf and viperous murderer;' in the stanzas concerning the 'Mountain Shepherds,' especially the figure representing Shelley himself; and in the solemn and majestic conclusion, where the poet rises from the region of earthly sorrow into the realm of ideal aspiration and contemplation.

		It was composed during the spring of 1821 and first published in July 1821.
		'Adonais' was composed as a pastoral elegy, specifically in the tradition of Milton's beautiful 'Lycidas'.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Adonais
		Adonais was occasioned by the death of John Keats on 23 February 1821 and is ranked alongside John Milton's Lycidas (1638), Philip Sydney's Astrophel (1595), and Thomas Gray's Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard (1751) in the great tradition of English pastoral elegy.
		Shelley is intent on securing Adonais “among the sons of light” (36) and Keats among the literary Titans of Shakespeare, Milton, and Dante.
		The question, “What Adonais is, why fear we to become?”, both urges us and Shelley to orientate ourselves towards our own extinction and suggests that we might have good cause to linger before charting the unknown territory of our annihilation.

	Re: Shelley's Adonais (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In his poem "Adonais" Shelley sought to do what the Longman Anthology says is the "standard protocol" of a pastoral elegy, to honor a subject.
		He wrote, "Oh weep for Adonais" and "Most musical of mourners, weep anew!" Next, there is an accusation put forth when the author calls for the muse.
		For Adonais, "the mountain shepards came", "The Pilgrim of Eternity...came" and "came one frail form." Shelley showed also a turn from grief to consolation when he wrote, "He lives, he wakes-'tis Death is dead, not he;/Mourn not for Adonais."

	Shelley - Adonais: An Elegy On The Death Of John Keats
		With veiled eyes, 'Mid listening Echoes, in her Paradise She sate, while one, with soft enamour'd breath, Rekindled all the fading melodies, With which, like flowers that mock the corse beneath, He had adorn'd and hid the coming bulk of Death.
		To Phoebus was not Hyacinth so dear Nor to himself Narcissus, as to both Thou, Adonais: wan they stand and sere Amid the faint companions of their youth, With dew all turn'd to tears; odour, to sighing ruth.
		The leprous corpse, touch'd by this spirit tender, Exhales itself in flowers of gentle breath; Like incarnations of the stars, when splendour Is chang'd to fragrance, they illumine death And mock the merry worm that wakes beneath; Nought we know, dies.
