In 'his' Byron and Shelley [Trelawny] created two figures that in their compelling solidity are fit to stand alongside any literary memoir short of Boswell's Johnson. –David Crane, Lord Byron's Jackal
Your portrait of Shelley is full of truth–it is him in all his unaffectedness, in his simple tastes so fond of woods, seas, lakes, mountains; of birds and of music. There was in his manner of speaking, a touch of the woman, even of the girl...that appears most vividly in your description. –Claire Clairmont, Letter to Trelawny
