Mr. Brooke has remarked upon a similarity between the Tempest of Cynewulf and Shelley's Ode to the West Wind.

Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind."

In his great poem, “Ode to the West Wind.” he Said that the leaves of his pages were blowing away, Dead leaves, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing.

In Shelley's "Mutability," clouds, as often in Romantic poetry, are an emblem of evanescence and change; in the second section of his "Ode to the West Wind," when Shelley turns from wind-driven leaves to clouds, they become symbols of our own fleeting selves.

After an autumn walk along the Arno in Florence he wrote his Ode to the West Wind; in Pisa The Cloud and To a Skylark.
