Wake thou," cried Misery, "childless Mother, rise
Out of thy sleep, and slake, in thy heart's core,
A wound more fierce than his, with tears and sighs.
(Adonais: An Elegy On The Death Of John Keats)
More Quotes from Percy Bysshe Shelley:
Is it not odd that the only generous person I ever knew, who had money to be generous with, should be a stockbroker.Percy Bysshe Shelley
Here I swear, and as I break my oath may eternity blast me, here I swear that never will I forgive Christianity It is the only point on which I allow myself to encourage revenge. Oh, how I wish I were the Antichrist, that it were mine to crush the Demon to hurl him to his native Hell never to rise again I expect to gratify some of this insatiable feeling in Poetry.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Not all to that bright station dar'd to climb;
And happier they their happiness who knew,
Whose tapers yet burn through that night of time
In which suns perish'd; others more sublime,
Struck by the envious wrath of man or god,
Have sunk, extinct in their refulgent prime;
And some yet live, treading the thorny road,
Which leads, through toil and hate, to Fame's serene abode.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
A pard-like spirit, beautiful and swift.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Ask why the sunlight not for ever
Weaves rainbows o'er yon mountain-river,
Why aught should fail and fade that once is shown,
Why fear and dream and death and birth
Cast on the daylight of this earth
Such gloom, -- why man has such a scope
For love and hate, despondency and hope?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Whither have fled
The hues of heaven that canopied his bower
Of yesternight?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
