I need to reread it too.
Reading does provide solace & insight. Time is precious— I hope you continue to find what you need for the present moment— the necessary soil, rain, wind, sunlight, shadow— whatever it takes to create. Good luck!
The process & craft of writing is exciting.
I read Shelley mostly in my 20’s— time to revisit.
“Universal pain” reminds me of something James Hillman wrote about in a book called Healing Fiction.
I need to reread Shelley’s “A Defense of Poetry” — it’s been years & years. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/69388/a-defence-of-poetry
