Cancelled Passage Of The Ode To Liberty.

By Percy Bysshe Shelley

Within a cavern of man's trackless spirit Is throned an Image, so intensely fair That the adventurous thoughts that wander near it Worship, and as they kneel, tremble and wear The splendour of its presence, and the light Penetrates their dreamlike frame Till they become charged with the strength of flame.
