"He was being formed in the 'very poetry of nature'" (Shelley, 113).
"Very poetry of nature" is from the The Story of Riminy, by Leigh Hunt. The Story of Riminy is a love story between Francesca da Rimini and her brother in law. In the story, the allusion is being used to describe a character whom Victor loved, his friend Clerval. (Edit) This shows that their relationship was more brotherly then it naturally should have been.
