The Moment of Elevation (Free verse) by vulcan This"Under the glaucous caverns of old ocean"
This,this shall break my heart ere the daybreak,
But that we break together O heart
The Sublimity of Man and Nature!

The Wind
Down the ladder:

It's from Shelley's "Prometheous Unbound"and if you care to know I was listening to Brukner's Symphony no8's finale when I reached that line!(if I was alone some tragedy might have followed!)
I liek the idea of the union of Man and Nature even in destruction. That is truly Shelleyan. You do capture the Romantics very well.
I like that this is so compact, my only complaint is the use of archaic language. More of a personal preference.
