Percy Bysshe Shelley
A dream has power to poison sleep.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Underneath Day's azure eyes, Ocean's nursling, Venice lies, A peopled labyrinth of walls, Amphitrite's destined halls
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The more we study the more we discover our ignorance.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The wise want love and those who love want wisdom.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The sunlight claps the earth, and the moonbeams kiss the sea: what are all these kissings worth, if thou kiss not me?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
