One darkest glen
Sends from its woods of musk-rose twined with jasmine
A soul-dissolving odor to invite
To some more lovely mystery.
(Alastor: Or, The Spirit Of Solitude)
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
Of vapours, from whose solid atmosphere
Black rain, and fire, and hail will burst: O hear!

In sleep, and, dreaming still, he crept afar.

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
I have drunken deep of joy, And I will taste no other wine tonight.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
