UNCANCELLED PASSAGE.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

(following 2.5._71.)

 

ASIA:

You said that spirits spoke, but it was thee

Sweet sister, for even now thy curved lips

Tremble as if the sound were dying there

Not dead

 

PANTHEA:

Alas it was Prometheus spoke

Within me, and I know it must be so

I mixed my own weak nature with his love

...And my thoughts

Are like the many forests of a vale

Through which the might of whirlwind and of rain

Had passed—they rest rest through the evening light

As mine do now in thy beloved smile.
