Oxford is not
of such tributes, and, as you pass
into Duke Humphrey's Library, you wonder, it may be,
whether, in thus cherishing at her heart the memory of
Shelley the poet after she had cast out Shelley the atheist,
she is thinking of what was, or of what might have been;
of what the man did or of what it might have been
granted him to do but for the sudden squall that swept
him away.
