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
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
Power, like a desolating pestilence, Pollutes whate'er it touches and obedience, Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth, Makes slaves of men, and of the human frame A mechanized automaton.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
A dream has power to poison sleep.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley
It is true that the reluctance to abstain from animal food, in those who have been long accustomed to its stimulus, is so great in some persons of weak minds, as to be scarcely overcome but this is far from bringing any argument in its favour
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The encomium of one incapable of flattery is indeed flattering.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
So is Hope Changed for Despair-one laid upon the shelf, We take the other. Under heaven's high cope Fortune is god-all you endure and do Depends on circumstance as much as you.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
For there are deeds which have no form, sufferings which have no tongue.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
How beautiful is sunset when the glow Of Heaven descends upon a land like thee, Thou Paradise of exiles, Italy!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Jealousy's eyes are green.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Through the sunset of hope, Like the shapes of a dream, What paradise islands of glory gleam!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Among true and real friends, all is common and were ignorance and envy and superstition banished from the world, all mankind would be friend.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Fear not for the future, weep not for the past.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Worse than despair, Worse than the bitterness of death, is hope.
