The Cloud

            The cloud is a poem by Percy Shelly that gives personality to the clouds. Infact the clouds are the narrator of the entire poem. It reminds us of how much the clouds actually playa part in our world though we take them for granted often. The cloud speaks about the different activities it partcicpates in during the day suck as watering the flowers with its rain. It describes it self and the importance it serves. The main subject of the poem is that clouds are neccassary in nature and though often forgotten they are still there completing their job everyday, never ceasing to bring us rain, never ceasing to change but remain ever present, and never ceasing to be the gate of heaven. No matter what as humans are born and die, the clouds are forever and that is what Shelly is trying to get across as he personifies the cloud.
             The main theme of the poem is nature is ever present and will remain with or without man's remembering it. The cloud speaking seems to know its own importance and tells its own story beautifully as though it can do no wrong. The couds have a power that no one can quite understand, even though Shelly tries to show it to the best of his ability. The clouds are above us all in location and status. As the poem says "She dances around the sun" we are not allowed to be so close to the sun but the clouds are there all the time. They bring dew to the buds and hail to the ground. Lightning and thunder bow to the clouds. This is the idea Shelly tries to get across in his poem.
