You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:
Your IP address is in a range that has been blocked on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis.
The block was made by Jon Kolbert (meta.wikimedia.org).
The reason given is Open Proxy: Webhost: Contact stewards if you are affected .
Start of block: 20:12, 23 July 2019
Expiry of block: 20:12, 23 January 2022
Your current IP address is 40.76.139.33 and the blocked range is 40.76.0.0/16.
Please include all above details in any queries you make.
If you believe you were blocked by mistake, you can find additional information and instructions in the No open proxies global policy.
Otherwise, to discuss the block please post a request for review on Meta-Wiki or send an email to the stewards OTRS queue at stewards@wikimedia.org including all above details.
You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia due to a block affecting your IP address. This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. See below if you do not believe you have done anything wrong.
Editing from 40.76.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by SQL for the following reason(s):
The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in. If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.
Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.
This block has been set to expire: 16:25, 2 June 2023.
Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and email other editors and administrators.
For information on how to proceed, first see the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

====Second generation====
[[File:Lord Byron coloured drawing.png|right|150px|thumb|[[Lord Byron]]]]
The second generation of Romantic poets includes [[Lord Byron]] (1788–1824), [[Percy Bysshe Shelley]] (1792–1822), [[Felicia Hemans]] (1793-1835) and [[John Keats]] (1795–1821). Byron, however, was still influenced by 18th-century satirists and was, perhaps the least 'romantic' of the three, preferring "the brilliant wit of [[Alexander Pope|Pope]] to what he called the 'wrong poetical system' of his Romantic contemporaries".[''The Bloomsbury Guide to English Literature'', p. 379.] Byron achieved enormous fame and influence throughout Europe and [[Goethe]] called Byron "undoubtedly the greatest genius of our century".[Rupert Christiansen. ''Romantic Affinities: Portraits From an Age'', 1780–1830. (London: Bodley Head, 1988), p. 215]
Shelley is perhaps best known for ''[[Ode to the West Wind]]'', ''[[To a Skylark]]'', and ''[[Adonaïs]]'', an elegy written on the death of Keats. His close circle of admirers included the most progressive thinkers of the day. A work like ''Queen Mab'' (1813) reveals Shelley, "as the direct heir to the French and British revolutionary intellectuals of the 1790s.[''The Oxford Companion to English Literature'' (1996), p. 905.] Shelley became an idol of the next three or four generations of poets, including important [[Victorian era|Victorian]] and [[Pre-Raphaelite]] poets such as [[Robert Browning]], and [[Dante Gabriel Rossetti]], as well as later [[W.B. Yeats]].[[http://www.poets.org/pshel/] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131205120405/http://www.poets.org/pshel/ |date=5 December 2013 }} viewed 12 May 2013.]
Though John Keats shared Byron and Shelley's radical politics, "his best poetry is not political",[''The Bloomsbury Guide to English Literature'', p. 248,] but is especially noted for its sensuous music and imagery, along with a concern with material beauty and the transience of life.["John Keats." Encyclopædia Britannica. Encyclopædia Britannica Online Academic Edition. Encyclopædia Britannica Inc., 2013. Web. 12 May. 2013.; ''The Bloomsbury Guide to English Literature'', pp. 649–50.] Among his most famous works are "[[Ode to a Nightingale]]", "[[Ode on a Grecian Urn]]", "[[To Autumn]]". Keats has always been regarded as a major Romantic, "and his stature as a poet has grown steadily through all changes of fashion".[''The Oxford Companion to English Literature'' (1996), p. 534.]
Although sticking to its forms, Felicia Hemans began a process of undermining the Romantic tradition, a deconstruction that was continued by [[Letitia Elizabeth Landon]], as "an urban poet deeply attentive to themes of decay and decomposition".[The Encyclopaedia of Romantic Literature, edited by Frederick Burwick, Nancy Goslee and Diane Hoeveler] Landon's novel forms of metrical romance and [[dramatic monologue]] were much copied and contributed to her long-lasting influence on Victorian poetry.
