Analysis of The Poetry Of Shelley
George Meredith 1828 (Portsmouth, Hampshire) – 1909 (Box Hill, Surrey)
See'st thou a Skylark whose glistening winglets ascending
Quiver like pulses beneath the melodious dawn?
Deep in the heart-yearning distance of heaven it flutters -
Wisdom and beauty and love are the treasures it brings down at eve.
