from Stanzas Written in Dejection, near Naples
Alas! I have nor hope nor health,
Nor peace within nor calm around,
Nor that content surpassing wealth
The sage in meditation found,
And walked with inward glory crowned –
Nor fame, nor power, nor love, nor leisure.
Others I see whom these surround –
Smiling they live, and call life pleasure;
To me that cup has been dealt in another measure.
– Percy Bysshe Shelley (1818)
