Additional quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley

And in a mad trance
Strike with our spirit's knife
Invulnerable nothings
We decay
Like corpses in a charnel
Fear & Grief
Convulse is & consume us
Day by day
And cold hopes swarm
Like worms within
Our living clay

The indignity of your fate is the will of one more powerful.

Once, early in the morning, Beelzebub arose, With care his sweet person adorning, He put on his Sunday clothes.
