Revolt

This is from Percy Shelley's Revolt of Islam,

'"But children near their parents tremble now,

Because they must obey--one rules another,

And as one Power rules both high and low,

So man is made the captive of his brother, 3310

And Hate is throned on high with Fear her mother,

Above the Highest--and those fountain-cells,

Whence love yet flowed when faith had choked all other,

Are darkened--Woman as the bond-slave dwells

Of man, a slave; and life is poisoned in its wells. 3315
