Read the whole thing Sheol, Dammit! It's not like Promethus Unbound is all that big. :p. I like it, but dont' recall enough of it at the moment to quote anything off the top of my head. I do recall at the end my prof commenting that Shelley made a piss poor athiest, which he supposedly was. It's full of quite the imagery though. Thank goodness he was wealthy or that stuff probably wouldn't have been seen as fit or proper writing.
"There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold..."
Last night came the cartoon for Robert Services "Cremation of Sam Mcgee." It's a simple poem, but I like it and the narration is great. I'll see if I can find it on youtube somewhere.
"There wasn’t a breath in that land of death, and I hurried, horror-driven,
With a corpse half hid that I couldn’t get rid, because of a promise given;
It was lashed to the sleigh, and it seemed to say: “You may tax your brawn and brains,
But you promised true, and it’s up to you to cremate those last remains.”
