"It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration;"

"Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;
And 'tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes."
- Wordsworth

"Away, away! to thy sad and silent home;
Pour bitter tears on its desolated hearth;
Watch the dim shades as like ghosts they go and come,
And complicate strange webs of melancholy mirth."
- Percy Bysshe Shelley

"St Agnes' Eve - Ah, bitter chill it was!
The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold;
The hare limp'd trembling through the frozen grass,
And silent was the flock in woolly fold."
- Keats, 'The Eve Of St Agnes'

We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
The Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
The wind that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.

- William Wordsworth

The most stunning setting for a stone circle, surely. Plus really photogenic stones.

No wonder the Romantics strode about writing about nature & stuff. This place gets you like that.

Jonathan Rigby uses this in his 'English Gothic' so I don't know the #poem. Good though, isn't it? And not a bad reminder that it's #PhantomsFriday tomorrow: so please join in the feed with some #ghost posts.

✨ Coleridge never finished this haunting poem (much like Kubla Kahn, another "daemonic" work), though he always meant to. Personally I love it as is.

Christabel - A Daemonic Poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Christabel is one of my favorite poems by English Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 - 1834). Seduction, deception, wicked witchery, innocence lost, as Christabel meets a beautiful damsel in ...

This one, from Shelley’s response to the 1819 Peterloo Massacre, shoud be going viral. . .

Rise, like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many—they are few.

“In this hard struggle I had little refreshment but from the fountains of my own soul. Had I not clung to myself, the atrocity of others had made me a demon.” ― Edward John Trelawny, Adventures Of A Younger Son

Her only pilot... the soft breeze.

Wordsworth’s tranquil lines float between dream and shore, bending meter just enough to feel infinite.

A perfect hypercatalectic moment — where form drifts freely with feeling.

Here at the Gibson Library, we have a wide selection of books published by or about Shelley, including a pamphlet (pictured below) that he wrote about vegetarianism in 1947 with an introduction by local author Hugh I'Anson Fausset.
