Fragment, To the Mind of Man by Percy Bysshe Shelley, read for LibriVox.org by April Mendes. Thou living light, that in thy rainbow hues clothest this naked world, and over sea and earth and air and all the shapes that be in people's darkness of this wondrous world, the spirit of thy glory dost diffuse truth, thou vital flame. mysterious thought that in this mortal frame of things with unextinguished luster burnest now
pale and faint now hide a heaven up curled that air as thou dost languish still returnest and ever before the before the pyramids so soon as from the earth formless and rude one living step had chased drear solitude, thou wert, thought, thy brightness charmed the lids
of the vast snake eternity, who kept the tree of good and evil. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain.
