Percy Bysshe Shelley
Peace is in the grave.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Narrow The heart that loves, the brain that contemplates, The life that wears, the spirit that creates One object, and one form, and builds thereby A sepulchre for its eternity.
