Additional quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Most musical of mourners, weep again!

(Title: To the Moon)
Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven, and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth, — And ever-changing, like a joyless eye
That finds no object worth its constancy?

Sweet the rose which lives in Heaven, Although on earth ’tis planted, Where its honours blow, While by earth’s slaves the leaves are riven Which die the while they glow.

I weep for Adonais — he is dead! O, weep for Adonais! though our tears Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a head! - Percy Bysshe Shelley
