Cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.

Through the sunset of hope,

Through the sunset of hope,
Like the shapes of a dream,
What paradise islands of glory gleam!

To hope till hope creates

To hope till hope creates
From its own wreck the thing it contemplates.

But hope will make thee young,...

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

Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of eternity.

Life may change, but it may fl...

Life may change, but it may fly not;
Hope may vanish, but can die not;
Truth be veiled, but still it burneth;
Love repulsed, - but it returneth!

All love is sweet
Given or returned. Common as light is love,
And its familiar voice wearies not ever.

Love, from its awful throne of...

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.

True Love in this differs from...

True Love in this differs from gold and clay,
That to divide is not to take away.
Love is like understanding, that grows bright,
Gazing on many truths; 'tis like thy light,
Imagination! which from earth and sky,
And from the depths of human phantasy,
As from a thousand prisms and mirrors, fills
The Universe with glorious beams, and kills
Error, the worm, with many a sun-like arrow
Of its reverberated lightning.

Love's very pain is sweet,

Love's very pain is sweet,
But its reward is in the world divine
Which, if not here, it builds beyond the grave.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 03.03.2018 03:03:03 532 quotes

And bid them love each other a...

And bid them love each other and be blest:
And leave the troop which errs, and which reproves,
And come and be my guest, - for I am Love's.

I love Love - though he has wi...

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.

In proportion to the love exis...

In proportion to the love existing among men, so will be the community of property and power. Among true and real friends, all is common; and, were ignorance and envy and superstition banished from the world, all mankind would be friends. The only perfect and genuine republic is that which comprehends every living being. Those distinctions which have been artificially set up, of nations, societies, families, and religions, are only general names, expressing the abhorrence and contempt with which men blindly consider th

You ought to love all mankind;...

You ought to love all mankind; nay, every individual of mankind. You ought not to love the individuals of your domestic circles less, but to love those who exist beyond it more. Once make the feelings of confidence and of affection universal, and the distinctions of property and power will vanish; nor are they to be abolished without substituting something equivalent in mischief to them, until all mankind shall acknowledge an entire community of rights.

Love's Pestilence, and her slow dogs of war.

A sensitive plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan
like leaves to the light,
and closed them beneath the kisses of night.

I love tranquil solitude
And such society
As is quiet, wise, and good.

Poetry, in a general sense, may be defined to be 'the expression of the imagination': and poetry is connate with the origin of man.

All high poetry is infinite; it is as the first acorn, which contained all oaks potentially.
