If you look at his canon of poetry and gauge its depth, quality, and temper that with its volume, it's hard not to think, "Damn it. He produced that within a span of 6 or 7 years, and all by his mid-twenties?!"
I cannot even fathom what he would have produce had he fully developed his powers.

Indeed.
Every time I come across Mary Wollstonecraft's works I wonder what else she would have produced had she lived longer.
