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

"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'

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

An illustration, broadly contemporaneous with Shelley's poetry, of three men in archaic costumes, two bearing torches, being terrified by the sudden appearance of a monster from a cellar? - crypt? - flight of stairs? - it's unclear.
"The tempestuous loveliness of terror."
- Percy Bysshe Shelley
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.

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.

'The Funeral Of Shelley' by Edouard Fournier (cropped)
"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

“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

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.

Abstract painting by Eugene Jansson of waves highlighted by moonlight.
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 poet Lord Byron was a rake, a womanizer, and often a nexus of chaos -- but he knew genius when he encountered it and had no trouble acknowledging it, even in females. #LiteraryHistory #frankenstein #romanticpoets
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.
