ABSTRACT
Percy Bysshe Shelley, Adonais, LV (1821) 9 With some gleams, it is true, of more than mock solace, Adonais is lighted;
but they are obtained by implicitly assuming the personal immortality which the poem explicitly denies… The soul of Adonais?—
Adonais, who is but A portion of that loveliness Which once he made more lovely.
