Additional quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley

It is only by softening and disguising dead flesh by culinary preparation that it is rendered susceptible of mastication or digestion, and that the sight of its bloody juices and raw horror does not excite intolerable loathing and disgust.

I arise from dreams of thee,
And a spirit in my feet
Has led me- who knows how?
To thy chamber-window, Sweet!

Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere; Destroyer and preserver; hear, oh, hear!

From the haunts of daily life Where is waged the daily strife With common wants and common cares Which sows the human heart with tares. - Percy Bysshe Shelley
