Excerpt from Shelley's Nature-Poetry

This was the stage of development which had been reached by the ancient Hindu poets of the rig-veda generally supposed to be about four thousand years old. But the Spirit - though not the actual language - oi most of these hymns is far older: the rig-veda - Hymn Veda - might almost be called the Bible of the Aryan race, that race which includes Celts and Teutons as well as Greeks and Romans. The rig-veda is the true key to the origin of Aryan poetry, mythology, and religion.
