Most wretched men
Are cradled into poetry by wrong,
They learn in suffering what they teach in song.
Julian and Maddalo: A Conversation (1818–19)
is a poem in 617 lines of enjambed heroic couplets
by Percy Bysshe Shelley published posthumously in 1824
“It’s our job to transform the trials that we endured into the art that we produce. Should the occasion arise, I tell my students this is who you could be. This is how I used to be. I disclose I’m on a journey with you. And, if I can get from there to here, brother, sister, so can you. Let me show you how to do it.”
