The flood of time is rolling ...

The flood of time is rolling on;
We stand upon its brink, whilst they are gone
To glide in peace down death's mysterious stream.
Have ye done well?

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

The world's great age begins ...

The world's great age begins anew, The golden years return, The earth doth like a snake renew Her winter weeds outworn; Heaven smiles, and faiths and empires gleam, Like wrecks of a dissolving dream.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

But hope will make thee young...

But hope will make thee young, for Hope and Youth
Are children of one mother, even Love.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Worse than despair,
Worse th...

Worse than despair,
Worse than the bitterness of death, is hope.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Unfathomable Sea! whose waves...

Unfathomable Sea! whose waves are years, Ocean of Time, whose waters of deep woe Are brackish with the salt of human tears! Thou shoreless flood, which in thy ebb and flow Claspest the limits of mortality! And sick of prey, yet howling on for more, Vomitest thy wrecks on its inhospitable shore, Treacherous in calm, and terrible in storm, Who shall put forth on thee, Unfathomable sea?

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

In the golden lightning Of the sunken sun O'er which clouds are brightening, Thou dost float and run Like an unbodied joy whose race is just begun.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Design must be proved before ...

Design must be proved before a designer can be inferred.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

And priests dare babble of a ...

And priests dare babble of a God of peace,
Even whilst their hands are red with guiltless blood,
Murdering the while, uprooting every germ
Of truth, exterminating, spoiling all,
Making the earth a slaughter - house!

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Love, from its awful throne o...

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 532 quotes

Whatever strengthens and puri...

Whatever strengthens and purifies the affections, enlarges the imagination, and adds spirit to sense, is useful.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Nothing of him that doth fade...

Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

There are two Italies.... The...

There are two Italies.... The one is the most sublime and lovely contemplation that can be conceived by the imagination of man; the other is the most degraded, disgusting, and odious. What do you think? Young women of rank actually eat - you will never guess what - garlick! Our poor friend Lord Byron is quite corrupted by living among these people, and in fact, is going on in a way not worthy of him.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

GOVERNMENT has no rights; it ...

GOVERNMENT has no rights; it is a delegation from several individuals for the purpose of securing their own. It is therefore just, only so far as it exists by their consent, useful only so far as it operates to their well-being.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

No man has a right to disturb...

No man has a right to disturb the public peace, by personally resisting the execution of a law however bad. He ought to acquiesce, using at the same time the utmost powers of his reason, to promote its repeal.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Man, who wert once a despot a...

Man, who wert once a despot and a slave, A dupe and a deceiver! a decay, A traveller from the cradle to the grave Through the dim night of this immortal day.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

The babe is at peace within t...

The babe is at peace within the womb, the corpse is at rest within the tomb. We begin in what we end.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

The breath Of accusation kill...

The breath Of accusation kills an innocent name, And leaves for lame acquittal the poor life, Which is a mask without it.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

It is vain philosophy that su...

It is vain philosophy that supposes more causes than are exactly adequate to explain the phenomena of things.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Music, when soft voices die, ...

Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory; Odors, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Sow seed--but let no tyrant reap; Find wealth--let no imposter heap; Weave robes--let not the idle wear; Forge arms--in your defence to bear.
