I speak in grief,
Not exultation, for I hate no more,
As then ere misery made me wise.
(Prometheus Unbound)
More Quotes from 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
How wonderful is death Death and his brother sleep.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
We might be all
We dream of happy, high, majestical.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
His wan eyes
Gaze on the empty scene as vacantly
As ocean's moon looks on the moon in heaven.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
All love is sweet, Given or returned. Common as light is love, And its familiar voice wearies not ever. ...... They who inspire it most are fortunate, As I am now but those who feel it most Are happier still.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
