Poem A Day

Cancelled Passage of the Ode to Liberty

by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Within a cavern of man's trackless spirit

Is throned an Image, so intensely fair

That the adventurous thoughts that wander near it

Worship, and as they kneel, tremble and wear

The splendour of its presence, and the light

Penetrates their dreamlike frame

Till they become charged with the strength of flame.
