What Romantic Poet Am I?

P. B. Shelley
You are Percy Bysshe Shelley! Famous for your dreamy abstraction and your quirky verse, you're the model "sensitive poet." A vegetarian socialist with great personal charm and a definite way with the love poem, you remain an idol for female readers. There are dozens of cute anecdotes about you, and I love you.
Which Major Romantic Poet Would You Be (if You Were a Major Romantic Poet)?
brought to you by Quizilla
Found this quiz through Ron Silliman, who I would have thought to be above such things. However, any guy who tolerates Jim Behrle's "Ron is Ron" series has to have a pretty good sense of humor.

As I mention in the comments on Ron's site, I was really hoping for William Blake or John Keats. Like most people, the only Shelley poem I remember is "Ozymandias". But, I'll read more this afternoon.
On an unrelated note, I encourage you to read the Thursday, May 26th entry at Nancy's Now you listen here. I especially encourage you to read the comments to that entry, and follow all the links contained therein.

If you feel moved to nominate one of my poems as the best, that's just gravy....
