Additional quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Fear not for the future, weep not for the past

And man ... no longer now He slays the lamb that looks him in the face, And horribly devours his mangled flesh.

And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea
What are all these kissings worth -
If thou kiss not me?
