In the final part, Atlas reveals her true nature as a witch and shows the man and the woman the secrets of her magic.Throughout the poem, Shelley explores themes of creation, power, and the relationship between humans and the natural world. The Witch of Atlas is a complex and thought-provoking work that showcases Shelley's skill as a poet and his fascination with the supernatural.And o'er thy head did beat its wings for fame, And in thy sight its fading plumes display; The watery bow burned in the evening flame. But the shower fell, the swift Sun went his way-- And that is dead.--O, let me not believe That anything of mine is fit to live!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
