Explore "Peter Bell the Third" by Percy Bysshe Shelley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Among the guests who often stayed / Till the Devil's petits-soupers, / A man there came, fair as a maid, / And Peter noted what he said, / Standing behind his master's chair.
He was a mighty poet-and / A subtle-souled psychologist; / All things he seemed to understand, / Of old or new-of sea or land- / But his own mind-which was a mist.
