Project Gutenberg 2003-11-01 Public domain in the USA. 104 Shelley, Percy Bysshe 1792 1822 Shelley, P. B. (Percy Bysshe) The Witch of Atlas Produced by Sue Asscher "The Witch of Atlas" by Percy Bysshe Shelley is a lyrical poem written during the early 19th century, reflecting the Romantic era's fascination with nature, myth, and emotional expression. This visionary work explores themes of beauty, love, and the transformative power of imagination through the story of a mystical witch who possesses the ability to enchant and inspire those around her. It significantly differs from typical narratives by focusing more on the emotional and philosophical implications of the witch's experiences rather than a linear storyline. The poem introduces a powerful and enchanting witch who resides in a cavern on Mount Atlas. Her beauty captivates all living beings, which she influences through her magical gifts. As various creatures and deities come to her, they seek her charm and wisdom. The witch's abilities allow her to impart joy, reshape realities, and heal emotional wounds among mortals. Yet, her angst arises from knowing that all she loves is temporary, reflecting on mortality and the inevitable decay of all life. Through her interactions with humans, she provides insights into love, dreams, and the complexity of existence, which ultimately invites readers to reflect on their aspirations and the ephemeral nature of beauty and life itself.
