npub1typ5we79rr527q30467hfz8ptfy0h8gxpmfn7j64ak6pk6pv4rfszzc8hh (npub1typ…c8hh) To the article: I think Smith is nowhere near Shelley’s level as a poet, but as you point out he did a better job of forcing the audience to draw the obvious parallel between Ramses and their present privileged position. Even though Shelley leaves that part unsaid, it seams reasonable that he expected his audience to be able to make that inference on their own.
