Additional quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Thou art unseen, but yet I hear thy shrill delight.

That orbed maiden with white fire laden, Whom mortals call the moon.

What softer voice is hushed over the dead? Athwart what brow is that dark mantle thrown? What form leans sadly o'er the white death — bed, In mockery of monumental stone, The heavy heart heaving without a moan?
