Percy Bysshe Shelley
Jealousy's eyes are green.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Love, from its awful throne of patient power In the wise heart, from the last giddy hour Of dread endurance, from the slippery, steep, And narrow verge of crag-like agony, springs And folds over the world its healing wings.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I consider poetry very subordinate to moral and political science.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Persevere even though Hell and destruction should yawn beneath your feet.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The Pilgrim of Eternity, whose fame Over his living head like heaven is bent, An early but enduring monument, Came, veiling all the lightnings of his song In sorrow.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
When the power of imparting joy is equal to the will, the human soul requires no other heaven.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
