shelley in my atelier

U2 lead singer bono has been quoted as saying about leonard cohen: "he's our shelley".
as a young man, leonard studied shelley's work, and in 'beautiful losers' he writes: "the feet of ozymandias had more company in the sandstorm of '89." - referring to shelley's "two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert" - from the 'ozymandias' sonnet. with that as background, it is perhaps appropriate for me to post my interpretation of what shelley, who tragically died before his 30th birthday, may have looked like. i am a spiritual person, and this is, in any case, how he appeared to me a year ago after kindly accepting a request for a visual ADC (after death communication). we didn't speak, he just sat there for a short while looking out of the window at boats crossing the fjord while i rapidly threw paint onto a canvas.
