Additional quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Most musical of mourners, weep again!

And many more Destructions played In this ghastly masquerade, All disguised, even to the eyes, Like Bishops, lawyers, peers, or spies.

That orbèd maiden, with white fire laden,
Whom mortals call the moon,
Glides glimmering o’er my fleece-like floor
By the midnight breezes strewn.

We are all Greeks. Our laws, our literature, our religion, our arts have their root in Greece - Percy Bysshe Shelley
