Massacre,
For this I prayed, would on thy sleep have crept,
Treason and Slavery, Rapine, Fear, and Lust,
And stifled thee, their minister.
(Feelings Of A Republican On The Fall Of Bonaparte)
More Quotes from Percy Bysshe Shelley:
'Tis like a child's belovèd corseA father watches, till at last
Beauty is like remembrance, cast
From Time long past.
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
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
Waking or asleep,
Thou of death must deem
Things more true and deep
Than we mortals dream,
Or how could thy notes flow in such a crystal stream?
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Others I see whom these surround --
Smiling they live, and call life pleasure; --
To me that cup has been dealt in another measure.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

There's like ten minutes when it's like, 'Okay, wait, who is this guy again?' And then, you know, I just put on the calculator watch and the glasses, and just be all, you know, inappropriate. And then it just works out fine.
Rainn Wilson
The implication that everyone would have to accept its judgments uncritically, that it was a decision from which there could be no appeal, was astonishing.
