When Shelley was writing his poem of " Hellas, " Trelawny insisted on taking him to see actual Greeks on board the ships at Leghorn, that he might better know what he was writing of. They found the Greek crews " squatting about the decks in small knots, shrieking, gesticulating, smoking, eating, and gambling, like savages. " " ' Does this realise your idea of Hellenism, Shelley r ' I said. * No ; but it does of Hell, ' he replied. " The skipper was opposed to the Greek revolution because it " i...nterrupted trade. " " Come away, " said Shelley ; " there is not a drop of the old Hellenic blood here. These are not the men to rekindle the ancient Greek fire ; their souls are extinguished by traffic and superstition. Come away ; I had rather not have any more of my hopes and illusions mocked by sad realities. " This is a striking picture of the recoil of Shelley's mind from the actual men concerning whose political state he dreamed and poetised. And of course he neglected to notice not only the vices and faults which render some government necessary by L 2 148 SHELLEY'S POETICAL MYSTICISM.
