Who wrote the poem with the part about the "the shape of the air around the girl"? wracking my brain!

I have searched and searched and haven't found this either. I wonder if its been slightly misquoted - maybe a variation I haven't tried would work.
I have found a poem called The Shape of a Girl by Kathrine Hastings but I'm not sure that's what you meant either, but see link

And in the meantime, I did find a poem that I love and that seemed to 'suit' the verse you were looking for, sort of...
It is The Lady of Shalott by Alfred Tennyson published in 1883. My favorite verse that I remember is quoted below. It is a long poem... worth reading :)

She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces thro’ the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look’d down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack’d from side to side;
‘The curse is come upon me,’ cried
The Lady of Shalott.
