.Natural cycle of life serves here to present the idea of regeneration.In 3 part of the poem seems to be falling into pieces, old ways of thinking have to be renewed.The poet is presented as a kind of prophet who carries the message to others.The I speaker needs the wind to have an inspiration and wind needs to have something to carry without it we will not notice the wind.Mutual need to coexist.The entire imagery is very consistent and build to the climax.In stanza 5 the I speaker speaks of himself as a poet and poetry as a mean of revolution of thought.Here there are examples of Shelly imagery.At last, Shelley again calls the Wind in a kind of prayer and even wants him to be `his' Spirit: he says: `My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!'.Like the leaves of the trees in a forest, his leaves will fall and decay and will perhaps soon flourish again when the spring comes.That may be why he is looking forward to the spring and asks at the end of the last canto `If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?' This is of course a rhetorical question because spring does come after winter, but the "if" suggests that it might not come if the rebirth is strong and extensive enough, and if it is not, another renewal---spring---will come anyway.Thus the question has a deeper meaning and does not only mean the change of seasons, but is a reference to death and rebirth as well.It also indicates that after the struggles and problems in life, there would always be a solution.It shows us the optimistic view of the poet about life which he would like the world to know.It is an interpretation of his saying 'If you are suffering now, there will be good times ahead.' But the most powerful call to the Wind are the lines: "Drive my dead thoughts over the universe/like withered leaves to quicken a new birth!" Here Shelley is imploring---or really chanting to---the Wind to blow away all of his useless thoughts so that he can be a vessel for the Wind and, as a result, awaken the Earth.Revolutionary ideas in the poem: It is kind of mental revolution which change the way of thinking, the revolution is to create a new order to bring a new life, old way of thinking should be renewed, he is inspired by the wind and wants to speak to the whole mankind, the poetry is the means of revolution, he rebelled government and religion he was expelled from the university because he wrote a pamphlet on the necessity of atheism.This poem is a highly controlled text about the role of the poet as the agent of political and moral change.This was a subject Shelley wrote a great deal about.Ode - A classic ode is structured in three major parts: the strophe, the antistrophe, and the epode.It is most likely that the Greek odes gradually lost their musical character; they were originally accompanied with the flute, and then declaimed without any music at all.The ode, as it was practiced by the Romans, returned to the lyrical form of the Lesbian lyricists.This was exemplified, most exquisitely, by Horace and Catullus; the former imitated and translated the Greek lyricists Alcaeus and Anacreon, and the latter was directly inspired by Sappho.English ode - An ode is typically a lyrical verse written in praise of, or dedicated to someone or something which captures the poet's interest or serves as an inspiration.The initial model for English odes was Horace, who used the form to write meditative lyrics on various themes.irregular odes were also written by Coleridge.Keats and Shelley wrote odes with regular stanza patterns.Shelley's Ode to the West Wind, written in fourteen line terza rima stanzas, is a major poem in the form
