Romantics-Percy Shelley

(Percy Shelley, a romantic poet and husband of author Mary Shelley, was often acknowledged for his sense of writing)
Greatly acknowledged for his unique style of writing poetry during the Romantic Era of  the 18th century.

Queen Mab, a famous poem:
Yes! she will wake again,
   Although her glowing limbs are motionless,
           And silent those sweet lips,
           Once breathing eloquence
     That might have soothed a tiger's rage
   Or thawed the cold heart of a conqueror.
           Her dewy eyes are closed,
     And on their lids, whose texture fine
     Scarce hides the dark blue orbs beneath,
           The baby Sleep is pillowed;                               
           Her golden tresses shade
           The bosom's stainless pride,
       Curling like tendrils of the parasite
           Around a marble column.
