Poets are getting it on.
Did I make it up in my head, or did headstrong, imperious Mary Godwin first ravish sensitive idealist Percy Bysshe Shelley atop her mother's gravestone? I am convinced my Shelley lecturer told me this back when I was at university.
Why on earth would I make that up in my head?
It is far too awesome to have been made up, surely. (As well as far too embarrassingly goth.)
I remembered it, and all day since, I have been thinking of Lord Byron and Bysshe Shelley making Mary Godwin sandwiches while they were doing their free love holiday in Italy.
I have cast Jennifer Connelly as Godwin, a young Paul McGann as Shelley, and I am not sure about Byron. Perhaps a Jude Law who can do acting as well as look nice.
