More Quotes from Percy Bysshe Shelley:

Then through the intricate wild wood
A maze of life and light and motion

Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The sounds that soothed his sleep,
The mystery and the majesty of Earth,
The joy, the exultation?

What to the evil world is due,
And therefore sternly did refuse
To link me with the infamy
Of one so lost as Helen.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
