Today's comic is from the last line of Shelley's "Epipsychidion," of which David Lehman writes in The State of the Art: "Just as Shelley's outburst of self pity can blunt the wondrous force of his enjambed couplets, so the unsavory facts of his personal life (he abandoned the young bride, who committed suicide) have acted as a check on a young poet's enthusiasm for the author of 'Ode to the West Wind,' 'Ozymandias,' and 'The Triumph of Life.'"
