Leave me not wild and drear and comfortless,
As silent lightning leaves the starless night!
(Adonais)
More Quotes from Percy Bysshe Shelley:
What alive, and so bold, O earth.Percy Bysshe Shelley
The sanguine Sunrise, with his meteor eyes,
And his burning plumes outspread,
Leaps on the back of my sailing rack,
When the morning star shines dead;
As on the jag of a mountain crag,
Which an earthquake rocks and swings,
An eagle alit one moment may sit
In the light of its golden wings.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
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
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.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
But there is stillness now--
Gloom, and the trance of Nature now.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Wake, melancholy Mother, wake and weep!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
