Spirit of Plato

By Percy Bysshe ShelleySource: Percy Bysshe Shelley - PoetryDB (Public Domain)28 words

FROM THE GREEK.

Eagle! why soarest thou above that tomb?

To what sublime and star-ypaven home

Floatest thou?--

I am the image of swift Plato's spirit,

Ascending heaven; Athens doth inherit

His corpse below.
