"Tintern Abbey"

"The sounding cataract... Unborrow'd from the eye" (Shelley, 113).

This allusion is taken out of the poem Tintern Abbey, by William Wordsworth. The poem is about Tintern Abbey, but is not only about the abbey, it also speaks of nature, social beliefs, and God. (Edit) Shelley is once again explaining that in the end, nature always wins. This Abbey had been completely taken over by nature even though it had once tried to best nature.
