‘All that is majestic’

Abstract

The challenge of transmuting words into experience, the excessiveness of which experience seems to prevent any straightforward description, becomes the animating force of Shelley’s letter to Thomas Love Peacock of 22 July 1816 and the poetry written in the summer of 1816. This chapter emphasises the seriousness of the poetic philosophy explored in every poem contained in the Scrope Davies Notebook, from ‘Hymn to Intellectual Beauty’ and Mont Blanc to the lesser-known sonnets. The lyric self, biographical experience, and the impersonal observance of genre, make the Scrope Davies Notebook both intensely personal and coolly detached from the self. Shelley seeks to find words adequate to experience in both his letter to Thomas Love Peacock and the poems of the Scrope Davies Notebook.

Quantifying Differences and Similarities in Whole-Brain White Matter Architecture Using Local Connectome Fingerprints

“…This may explain why the FA map appears similar across the normal population in which the axons have normal structure. By contrast, SDF quantifies how much water diffuses along the fiber pathways [15, 27] and is sensitive to density characteristics of white matter such as the compactness of the fiber bundles [15, 28, 29]. As illustrated in our qualitative analysis (Fig 1C), while the density characteristics vary substantially among normal populations, the FA measurements do not show obvious differences between subjects.…”
