Question
What is your favourite poem?
Answer
quotLift not the painted veil which those who livebrCall Life though unreal shapes be pictured therebrAnd it but mimic all we would believebrBehind, lurk Fear and Hope, twin destiniesbrWho ever weave their shadowsw over the Chasm,brSightless and drear. I one who had lifted itbrHe sought, for his lost heart was tender,brFor things to love, but found them not, alas!brNor was there aught the world contained brthe which he would approve.brThrough the unheeding many he did move,brA splendour among shadows, a bright blotbrUpon this gloomy scene, a spirit that strove for truthbrAnd like the Preacher found it not.quotbrbrA Sonnet, Percy B. Shelley
