FRAGMENT: AMOR AETERNUS by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: WEALTH AND DOMINION FADE INTO THE MASS
Last Line: ALL THAT FRAIL STUFF WHICH WILL BE -- OR WHICH WAS.
Subject(s): LIFE CHANGE EVENTS; LOVE;
WEALTH and dominion fade into the mass
Of the great sea of human right and wrong,
When once from our possession they must pass;
But love, though misdirected, is among
The things which are immortal, and surpass
All that frail stuff which will be -- or which was.
