More quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
And many more Destructions played In this ghastly masquerade, All disguised, even to the eyes, Like Bishops, lawyers, peers, or spies.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Worse than despair, Worse than the bitterness of death, is hope.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The awful shadow of some unseen Power Floats, tho' unseen, amongst us.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Everytime we say that god is the author of some phenomenon, that signifies that we are ignorant of how such a phenomenon was caused by the forces of nature.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Kiss me, so long but as a kiss may last!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Be your strong and simple words Keen to wound as sharpened swords, And wide as targes let them be, With their shade to cover ye.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Through the sunset of hope, Like the shapes of a dream, What paradise islands of glory gleam!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The more we study the more we discover our ignorance.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Men must reap the things they sow, Force from force must ever flow.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Are we not formed, as notes of music are, For one another, though dissimilar?
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
Underneath Day's azure eyes, Ocean's nursling, Venice lies, A peopled labyrinth of walls, Amphitrite's destined halls
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The practice of utter sincerity towards other men would avail to no good end, if they were incapable of practising it towards their own minds. In fact, truth cannot be communicated until it is perceived.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image of rugged cliffs And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I Fall upon the thorns of life.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
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
I have drunken deep of joy, And I will taste no other wine tonight.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Chameleons feed on light and air: Poets food is love and fame.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Spirit, Patience, Gentleness, All that can adorn and bless Art thou let deeds, not words, express Thine exceeding loveliness.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
