O, weep for Adonais! though our tears
Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a head!
And thou, sad Hour, selected from all years

All he had loved, and moulded into thought, From shape, and hue, and odour, and sweet sound, Lamented Adonais. Morning sought Her eastern watch-tower, and her hair unbound, In deed a great poem. tony

That Light whose smile kindles the Universe, That Beauty in which all things work and move, That Benediction which the eclipsing Curse Of birth can quench not, that sustaining Love.......stunning expression relating to God. It is a beautiful poem of P.B.Shelley.

That Light whose smile kindles the Universe, That Beauty in which all things work and move, That Benediction which the eclipsing Curse Of birth can quench not, that sustaining Love Which through the web of being blindly wove By man and beast and earth and air and sea, Burns bright or dim, as each are mirrors of The fire for which all thirst, now beams on me, Consuming the last clouds of cold mortality. Most amazing stanza of this great poem...............10

The greatest pastoral elegy ever written in the English language; maybe ever written by Man. PBS lives!

Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass, Stains the white radiance of Eternity, Until Death tramples it to fragments. I don't quite know why, but I find these lines overwhelmingly beautiful.
