Delighted.
you're a poet, Mr Shelley.
He speaks very highly
of your work.
Well, I am humbled
by his praise, Mrs. Godwin.
I must admit, though, my work
is not yet widely known.
Although I have just completed
...awaits publication.
[Godwin] Very impressive
achievement for such a young man.
[Shelley] Any achievement of
of your influence, Mr. Godwin.
You flatter me.
[Shelley] Hope you will
consider my proposal
to take me on as your protg.
I have a considerable allowance
at my disposal...
...and would gladly reimburse you
for any time you might spare.
Well, I feel duty bound to...
...foster such ability.
Well then, that's settled.
How fortunate we are
to be in the presence
of two great minds.
[Mrs. Godwin] You must see
our bookshop, Mr. Shelley.
[Godwin] I have a copy of "The
Iliad" in the original Greek.
Hmm.
Perhaps Mary will show it
to you after dinner.
How are you here?
Does it seem so strange that
I would seek out the tutelage
Clearly I'm not only here
to see your father.
Then why are you here?
To once again feel
the curdling of my blood
and the quickening of the
beatings of my heart.
Mary?
Mr. Shelley?
to see Mr. Shelley.
Thank you.
I will be with him momentarily.
uh, collection.
So I see.
[both chuckle]
As I was saying,
both your parents are a great
source of inspiration to me.
My mother died
when I was ten days old.
I'm sorry, I had no idea.
Don't be sorry.
I love to talk about her.
Even if I never truly knew her.
All of the contradictions
she embodied.
All anyone ever talks about...
...now is how she wanted
to go off
and live with a married man
and his wife...
...in a mnage trois.
And what do you think about...
...all that?
I have no problem with it.
People should live and love
as they wish.
But one thing I've never
understood is...
...why did two radicals
such as your parents
succumb to marriage?
To legitimize me.
Meet me...
...tomorrow.
Just tell me where.
There is a place I go alone.
I'm not sure
what you'll make of it.
My sanctuary of sorts.
[Shelley] Then it will
be my sanctuary, too.
I come here whenever I can.
Just to feel her embrace.
My father taught me to read...
...by tracing the letters
of her name.
[wind blowing]
I don't know what it is
I'm waiting for here.
Maybe you're just waiting
for someone to reach out and...
...return your embrace.
[thunder rolling]
[Mary panting]
escape the rain.
the deluge outside.
