Сторінка 137 - singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest. In the golden lightning Of the sunken sun, O'er which clouds are brightning, Thou dost float and run ; :e an unbodied joy whose race is just begun.

Сторінка xxiii - O that I had wings like a dove ; then would I flee away, and be at rest." But the good this exile did his art was largely counterbalanced by its harm. Shelley's individuality, unchecked by that of others, grew too great, and tended not only to isolate him from men, but
Сторінка v - DID YOU ONCE SEE SHELLEY PLAIN AND DID HE STOP AND SPEAK TO YOU, AND DID YOU SPEAK TO HIM AGAIN? HOW STRANGE IT SEEMS, AND NEW ! II. BUT YOU WERE LIVING BEFORE THAT, AND ALSO YOU ARE LIVING AFTER ; AND THE MEMORY
Сторінка xxxiii - of his imagination. I silently laugh at my own cenotaph, And out of the caverns of rain, Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb I arise and unbuild it again.
