Percy Bysshe Shelley
The nature of a narrow and malevolent spirit is so essentially incompatible with happiness as to render it inaccessible to the influences of the benignant God.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
What do you think? Young women of rank eat - you will never guess what - garlick!
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley
Ere Babylon was dust, The Magus Zoroaster, my dead child, Met his own image walking in the garden, That apparition, sole of men, he saw.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
For there are deeds which have no form, sufferings which have no tongue.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
That orbed maiden, with white fire laden, Whom mortals call the moon.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I have been a wanderer among distant fields. I have sailed down mighty rivers.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I love Love - though he has wings, And like light can flee, But above all other things, Spirit, I love thee - Thou art love and life! Oh come, Make once more my heart thy home.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I arise from dreams of thee, And a spirit in my feet Has led me- who knows how? To thy chamber-window, Sweet!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
It is vain philosophy that supposes more causes than are exactly adequate to explain the phenomena of things.
