Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep - he hath awakened from the dream of life - 'Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep with phantoms an unprofitable strife.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

I am convinced that there can be no regeneration of mankind until laughter is put down.

It is not a merit to tolerate, but rather a crime to be intolerant.

A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors are as men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel that they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

A poet, as he is the author to...

A poet, as he is the author to others of the highest wisdom, pleasure, virtue, and glory, so he ought personally to be the happiest, the best, the wisest, and the most illustrious of men.

But I am chained to Time, and cannot thence depart!

Yes, marriage is hateful, detestable. A kind of ineffable, sickening disgust seizes my mind when I think of this most despotic, most unrequited fetter which prejudice has forged to confine its energies.

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.

I have made my bed
In charnels and on coffins, where black death
Keeps record of the trophies won

Within my heart is the lamp of love,
And that is day!

Most wretched men Are cradled into poetry by wrong: They learn in suffering what they teach in song.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

To suffer woes which Hope thin...

To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite; To forgive wrongs darker than death or night; To defy Power, which seems omnipotent; To love, and bear; to hope till Hope creates From it's own wreck the thing it contemplates; Neither to change, not falter, nor repent; This, like thy glory, Titan, is to be Good, great and joyous,beautiful and free; This is alone Life, Joy, Empire, and Victory

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Poetry Love's Philosophy The f...

Poetry Love's Philosophy The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the ocean, The winds of heaven mix for ever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single, All things by a law divine In one another's being mingleЂ' Why not I with thine? See the mountains kiss high heaven, And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdain'd its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth, And the moonbeams kiss the seaЂ' What are all these kissings worth, If thou kiss not me?

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

The beauty of the internal nat...

The beauty of the internal nature cannot be so far concealed by its accidental vesture, but that the spirit of its form shall communicate itself to the very disguise and indicate the shape it hides from the manner in which it is worn. A majestic form and graceful motions will express themselves through the most barbarous and tasteless costume.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Let me set my mournful ditty To a merry measure; Thou wilt never come for pity, Thou wilt come for pleasure; Pity then will cut away Those cruel wings, and thou wilt stay.

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

O heart, and mind, and thought...

O heart, and mind, and thoughts! what thing do you Hope to inherit in the grave below?

Percy Bysshe Shelley 532 quotes

Alas! I have nor hope nor heal...

Alas! I have nor hope nor health, Nor peace within nor calm around, Nor that content surpassing wealth The sage in meditation found.

Men of England, wherefore plough For the lords who lay you low?
