Fragment: Thoughts Come and Go in Solitude

Percy Bysshe Shelley·1792–1822
Lines:5Movement:Romanticism
My thoughts arise and fade in solitude,The verse that would invest them melts awayLike moonlight in the heaven of spreading day:How beautiful they were, how firm they stood,Flecking the starry sky like woven pearl!
