Percy Bysshe Shelley (Illustrated Poets) QUOTES

1 " True Love in this differs from gold and clay,
That to divide is not to take away.
Love is like understanding, that grows bright
Gazing on many truths; 'tis like thy light,
Imagination! which from earth and sky,
And from the depths of human fantasy,
As from a thousand prisms and mirrors, fills
The Universe with glorious beams, and kills
Error, the worm, with many a sun-like arrow
Of its reverberated lightning.

Epipsychidion "

― Percy Bysshe Shelley , Percy Bysshe Shelley (Illustrated Poets)

2 " Narrow
The heart that loves, the brain that contemplates,
The life that wears, the spirit that creates
One object, and one form, and builds thereby
A sepulchre for its eternity.

- Epipsychidion "

― Percy Bysshe Shelley , Percy Bysshe Shelley (Illustrated Poets)

3 " Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass
Stains the white radiance of Eternity,
Until Death tramples it to fragments.

- Adonais "

― Percy Bysshe Shelley , Percy Bysshe Shelley (Illustrated Poets)

4 " I love tranquil solitude,
And such society
As is quiet, wise, and good.
