This post truly reflects your intelligence. You are very perceptive and well read. It is my pleasure to share this conversation with you.

Whenever I study a piece of literature I generally enjoy getting a little backstory on the author. Reading Percy Shelly's "West Wind" would not have been as enjoyable had I not known that, while he was writing, he was in the middle of a glorious thunderstorm; writing what he saw. He questioned his own mortality in that story, and isn't it fitting that he ultimately perished in a storm? You can almost feel the prophetic vision Shelly was seeing in that story. If you haven't read it already I think perhaps you should. It's a good one.

And as such I think that, since we humans are the only species who can truly think creatively, we were meant to think and question things like our mortality, life after death, the existence of a higher power. I'm not certain if you believe in a higher, unseen power, but isn't it a wonderful thing to recline and just marvel at the beauty of such a thing?
