In ‘The Triumph of Life’ the image of the new moon foreshadows an impending storm. Perhaps this image came from ‘Spens’ or indirectly through Coleridge, whose influence is evident elsewhere in Shelley’s verse.<\/p>\n

[Excerpt]<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the South wind shakes the extinguished day.–
\nAnd a cold glare, intenser than the noon
\nBut icy cold, obscured with [[blank]] light
\nThe Sun as he the stars. Like the young moon<\/p>\n

When on the sunlit limits of the night
\nHer white shell trembles amid crimson air

\nBends in dark ether from her infant’s chair,
\nSo came a chariot on the silent storm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
