But what’s that shape? —

His ugly look where has gone?!…

He sees in his reflection’s eyes,

Would be that Ferro Luxe[79 - Luxe Ferro, the «Highest Light», and so Lucifer – as we know, is a name of a brightest star in the Sky, like that for ex. in Ovid, and which now days called simply as the Polar Star. – The Shelley’s Ghost was originally picturized in image of a starry-eyed dead. That’s how my Shade can see the reflected sparks of starry-light in the eyes of this-side-living Shelley.

Of starry soul; and no ruined

Grace, no aught of damned lines

At all – a vision of clean Youth,

Delightful, poetic, but… feared, so.

Feared of (a) doomed self, of diable’s call,

Betrayal of the Past?… Reflections

Quite can be confused, when meet they

In the glass of Times their part,

Their lasting life. – That fears…

Though the feared (is) facing Fear leaves;

A silent visitor steps back;

His Future saw its Shade from dark,

And he’s to keep the path.

Yes,… as like the timeless echo-thought,

The other side of Air there spells, —

Whilst his eyes back to kiss his boat

Far let be flying through the ends

Of the blind dream of Life’s Ghost; —

So, he’s to hear: – «He’s with us… Amongst…»[80 - P.S. – This poem far is not the representation or any kind of interpretation of Lynn’s fictional scenario with that strangest Shelley’s Henry of hers; and my idea, in these lines, was but of a sort of an author’s trying to picturize that possibly-objective «tete-a-tete» contact just between a Poet and his famous paranormal Ghost, and so, between the times of them too: between the Poet’s time with its past and future, and the Ghost’s time with its past and future indeed, closely to our measures; – however, we may know about it, that «twas a sort of result of that mental distortion happened to be in a cause of all the perfidy and calumny, which Shelley, in his life, have always been a victim and an arbitre of, and which was so impressively performed in Lynn Shepherd’s inventional book.
