Analysis of Fragment: Ye Gentle Visitations Of Calm Thought
Percy Bysshe Shelley 1792 (Horsham) – 1822 (Lerici)
Ye gentle visitations of calm thought--
Moods like the memories of happier earth,
Which come arrayed in thoughts of little worth,
Like stars in clouds by the weak winds enwrought,--
But that the clouds depart and stars remain,
While they remain, and ye, alas, depart!
