Additional quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley

I can give not what men call love;
But wilt thou accept not
The worship the heart lifts above
And the heavens reject not:
The desire of the moth for the star,
Of the night for the morrow,
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow?

Let the blue sky overhead, The green earth on which ye tread, All that must eternal be Witness the solemnity.
