Analysis of Fragment Of A Sonnet. Farewell To North Devon
Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792 (Horsham) – 1822 (Lerici)
Where man's profane and tainting hand
Nature’s primaeval loveliness has marred,
And some few souls of the high bliss debarred
Which else obey her powerful command;
...mountain piles
That load in grandeur Cambria's emerald vales.
