Bigotry's Victim Comments

its very powerful and amazing

escaping mind always seeks the solutions always seeks the path of light from the darkness beautiful poem penned...like to read Shelley

Though weak as the lama that bounds on the mountains, And endued not with fast-fleeting footsteps of air, Yet, yet will I draw from the purest of fountains, Though a fiercer than tiger is there. The great Shelley. tony

I think Shelley is referring to the religious bigots of his era in this particular poem. Religion seems to be the unnamed, but deadly creature, that lies in wait to pounce upon unorthodox seekers of truth like Shelley himself; who comes to drink from the purest fountains of knowledge.

Escape from the bigot does not leave rebellious Shelley to relinquish truth and he proceeds in his own way being a lover of freedom and love! Wonderful poem of Shelley to read! Thanks for sharing!

yet will I draw from the purest of fountains, Though a fiercer than tiger is there. Though, more dreadful than death, it scatters despair, .....soul chilling terror, , tender love of the soul. thank u dear poet. tony
