experimental typographic orgy

Trying to work on 3 different logos tonight and fonts seems to be all I can think about. Sweet, delicious fonts. Came across this. If I dream letters in my sleep, this will be why……

Mutability
by: Percy Bysshe Shelley
We are the clouds that veil the midnight moon;
How restlessly they speed, and gleam, and quiver,
Streaking the darkness radiantly!–yet soon
Night closes round, and they are lost forever:Or like forgotten lyres, whose dissonant strings
Give various response to each varying blast,
To whose frail frame no second motion brings
One mood or modulation like the last.

We rest.–A dream has power to poison sleep;
We rise.–One wandering thought pollutes the day;
We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;
Embrace fond foe, or cast our cares away:

It is the same!–For, be it joy or sorrow,
The path of its departure still is free:
Man’s yesterday may ne’er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutability.

second edit: and this might just be my (new) most favorite poem ever.

I want this print from Oddhero - large size (72 tall x 44 wide) - $800. Some other very cool graphic posters available - I also dig the Helvetica one and the Spotter one.
