As long as skies are blue, and fields are green Evening must usher night, night urge the morrow, Month follow month with woe, and year wake year to sorrow

Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
Joy, once lost, is pain
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
To be omnipotent but friendless is to reign.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
Gentleness, Virtue, Wisdom, and Endurance, These are the seals of that most firm assurance Which bars the pit over Destruction's strength And if, with infirm hand, Eternity, Mother of many acts and hours, should free The serpent that would clasp her with his length These are the spells by which to reassume An empire o'er the disentangled doom.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

When the power of imparting joy is equal to the will, the human soul requires no other heaven.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
In each human heart terror survives The ravin it has gorged: the loftiest fear All that they would disdain to think were true: Hypocrisy and custom make their minds The fanes of many a worship, now outworn. They dare not devise good for man's estate, And yet they know not that they do not dare.

When a man marries, dies, or turns Hindu, his best friends hear no more of him.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
I stood within the city disinterred And heard the autumnal leaves like light footfalls Of spirits passng through the streets and heard the Mountain's slumberous voice at intervals Thrill through those roofless halls The oracular thunder penetrating shook The listening soul in my suspended blood.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
I could lie down like a tired child, And weep away the life of care Which I have borne, and yet must bear.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
Image of rugged cliffs And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
Power, like a desolating pestilence, pollutes whatever it touches.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
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
Image
See the mountains kiss high Heaven And the waves clasp one another No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother And the sunlight clasps the earth, And the moonbeams kiss the sea - What is all this sweet work worth If thou kiss not me?
