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!

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.
