Peacock (Naples, Jan. 26, 1819) [Poetry] Men must reap the things they sow, Force from force must ever flow, Or worse; but 'tis a bitter woe That love or reason cannot change. - Lines Written among the Euganean Hills (l. 232) [Change] Ay, many flowering islands lie In the waters of wide Agony. - Lines written among the Euganean Hills (l. 66) [Islands] Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine In one another's being mingle:-- Why not I with thine? - Love's Philosophy [Love] And the violet lay dead while the odour flew On the wings of the wind o'er the waters blue. - Music [Violets] O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being, Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing, Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red, Pestilence-stricken multitudes. - Ode to the West Wind (pt.
