Answer 1

Explanation:

The Cloud’ is one of the famous poems of Shelly. Shelly personifies the cloud. In other words, he gives it life and a personality. Furthermore, the poet makes the cloud tell its own life-story so that the poem becomes an autobiography of the cloud Shelly conceives of the cloud as a separate, living entity. His capacity to give a separate and independent life to the various objects of Nature and the forces of Nature is known as Shelley’s myth-making power. Not only the cloud, but thunder and lightning are also personified here. In a similar manner, Shelley has personified the West Wind and written a poem about this force of Nature. ‘The Cloud’ shows Shelley’s high imaginative power. It is Wonderful how Shelley describes natural and scientific facts in terms of imagination and fancy.
