About this book
Death and Sleep, called brothers, begin this two-part fragment by Percy Bysshe Shelley, before the poem turns to a girl named Ianthe asleep in a moonlit chamber. The Daemon of the World then descends in a chariot of light drawn by four shadowy shapes, and leans out to speak to the sleeping maiden.
The poem reworks material from Shelley's earlier Queen Mab and carries a Latin motto from Lucan.
