Excerpt from Shelley and Lord Beaconsfield: A Lecture Delivered to the Shelley Society, on Wednesday, October 12th, 1887

Omens dire Struck cold the heart of man, and made all gaze With silent speech upon each other's face, Waiting who first Should tell the thought all feared. Steeples were blasted by descending fire Ancestral trees, that seemed the types of Time, Were stricken by strong winds, and in an hour The growth of ages shivered from their base Fell regal statues, fountains changed to blood, And in the night, lights strange and quivering scudded Across the sky.
