The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley (ed. Hutchinson, 1914)/Fragment on Keats
FRAGMENT[1] ON KEATS
WHO DESIRED THAT ON HIS TOMB SHOULD BE INSCRIBED—
'Here lieth One whose name was writ on water. But, ere the breath that could erase it blew,Death, in remorse for that fell slaughter, Death, the immortalizing winter, flew Athwart the stream,—and time's printless torrent grew 5A scroll of crystal, blazoning the name Of Adonais!
