More quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The everlasting universe of things Flows through the mind, and rolls its rapid waves, Now dark--now glittering--now reflecting gloom-- Now lending splendour, where from secret springs The source of human thought its tribute brings.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley
I love Love -- though he has wings, And like light can flee.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley
February... Bending from Heaven, in azure mirth, It kissed the forehead of the Earth, And smiled upon the silent sea, And bade the frozen streams be free, And waked to music all their fountains, And breathed upon the frozen mountains.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
When a thing is said to be not worth refuting you may be sure that either it is flagrantly stupid - in which case all comment is superfluous - or it is something formidable, the very crux of the problem.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Peace is in the grave.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I consider poetry very subordinate to moral and political science.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The great instrument of moral good is the imagination.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Chameleons feed on light and air: Poets food is love and fame.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I am convinced that there can be no regeneration of mankind until laughter is put down.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange
Percy Bysshe Shelley
[L]ike thee to those in sorrow, Comes to bid a sweet good-morrow To the rough year just awake In its cradle on the brake. The brightest hour of unborn Spring, Through the winter wandering, Found, it seems, the halcyon Morn To hoar February born.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
