Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed?

Percy Bisshe Shelley in "Ode to The West Wind". Let's see the first Canto IO wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being,Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves deadAre driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,Who chariotest to their dark wintry bedThe winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,Each like a corpse within its grave, untilThine azure sister of the Spring shall blowHer clarion o'er the dreaming earth, and fill(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)With living hues and odors plain and hill:Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere;Destroyer and preserver; hear, oh, hear! In the line "Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed" who refers to the West Wind.


How does Shelley 'intellectualise' Nature in Ode to the West Wind?

P. B. Shelley has vividly used imagery in the poem "ode to the west wnd" to put a greater effect on the reader like the line "who chariotest to their dark wintry bed"; in this line Shelley used visual imagery to emphasise the power of west wind since chariotest are something owned by rich and powerful people or the line "her clarion o'er the dreaming earth, and fill"; in this line line P. B. Shelley used a sound imagery to tell that the south west wind is blowing the trumpet of war to mart the beginning of the new era i.e. the earth full filled with blosoomand the earth will become alive. other examples of imagery are (i) cleave themselves into chasms (ii)and saw in sleep old palaces and tower.
