To a Skylark

'Teach me half the gladness that thy brain must know; Such harmonious madness from my lips would flow, The world should listen then, as I am listening now.' - PB Shelley

“If there’s one thing I’m certain of, when people need help, I never refuse.” I’m in love with the new Doctor who series because of Jodie Whittaker and I couldn’t resist myself to redraw the beautiful promo picture of her.

what did shelley meant with "antrophos tropos"??

I take it you meant philanthropos tropos, which is part of the Greek terms Shelley used to define himself in this hotel registry:

It means literally “philanthropist” but should really be interpreted as “lover of humanity.” In the same registry he declared himself a democrat and an atheist. In the context of his poetry, the phrase likely served as a middle finger to kings and religious ideals. He was a lover of the people (as in, the oppressed), and not the oppressors or oppressive institutions. 

The last bit is merely my opinion. Shelley could’ve written it on a whim, but I don’t think he did. 

If you look, Byron did not cross out the phrases as he’d claimed he’d done. He underlined them.
