Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth!
(Ode To The West Wind)
More Quotes from Percy Bysshe Shelley:
Its homeThe voiceless lightning in these solitudes
Keeps innocently, and like vapor broods
Over the snow.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
All things are sold the very light of heaven is venal earth's unsparing gifts of love, the smallest and most despicable things that lurk in the abysses of the deep, all objects of our life, even life itself, and the poor pittance which the laws allow of liberty, the fellowship of man, those duties which his heart of human love should urge him to perform instinctively, are bought and sold as in a public mart of not disguising selfishness, that sets on each its price, the stamp-mark of her reign.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Percy Bysshe Shelley
England, farewell thou, who hast been my cradle, Shalt never be my dungeon or my grave.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Man has no right to kill his brother. It is no excuse that he does so in uniform: he only adds the infamy of servitude to the crime of murder.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
