Crossword-Solution: ADONAIS 7 letters, 20 clues 🏆 scrabble score: 8

Yet tarry! for the boy who loved thee best, Whose very name should be a memory To make thee linger, sleeps in silent rest Beneath the Roman walls, and melody Still mourns her sweetest lyre; none can play The lute of Adonais: with his lips Song passed away.

With some gleams, it is true, of more than mock solace, _Adonais_ is lighted; but they are obtained by implicitly assuming the personal immortality which the poem explicitly denies; as when, for instance, to greet the dead youth, The inheritors of unfulfilled renown Rose from their thrones, built beyond mortal thought Far in the unapparent.

And again the final stanza of the poem: The breath whose might I have invoked in song Descends on me; my spirit's bark is driven Far from the shore, far from the trembling throng Whose sails were never to the tempest riven; The massy earth, the sphered skies are given: I am borne darkly, fearfully afar; Whilst, burning through the inmost veil of heaven, The soul of Adonais like a star Beacons from the abode where the eternal are.

The Soul of Adonais?--Adonais, who is but A portion of the loveliness Which once he made more lovely.

Fortunately you gave us “Adonais” and “Hellas” instead of this treatise, and we have now successfully written the natural history of Man for ourselves.
