Nephelidia
'Nephelidia' Summary
**Nephelidia** is a short poem by Algernon Charles Swinburne, known for its self-parodic nature. It's a playful mockery of Swinburne's own flamboyant style, often characterized by its lush imagery, complex rhythms, and intricate rhyme schemes. 'Nephelidia' translates to 'cloudlets,' which serves as a metaphorical representation of the fleeting, dreamlike nature of the poem's subject matter.Book Details
