Percey Bysshe Shelley says "Forget about it!"

I stumbled upon a weird little bit of information while reading The Monsters: Mary Shelley and the Curse of Frankenstein, and I can't seem to move past it. Percy Bysshe Shelley, one of the most quintessentially English of the Romantic poets and husband of Mary Shelley, has roots in Jersey! His great-grandfather came to America to make his fortune. He settled in New Jersey and had kids while here, including Percy Shelley's grandfather. Through the death of his older brothers, Percy Shelley's grandpa inherited the estate in England and moved to the motherland. Thank goodness for rampant illness and the misfortune of those older brothers! One cannot imagine such words as ''Death is the veil which those who live call life" being read in the voice of Tony Soprano.
