Shelley/places

Famous quotes containing the words shelley and/or places:

    O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn’s being,
    Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
    Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
    Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
    Pestilence-stricken multitudes.
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    We said there warn’t no home like a raft, after all. Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don’t. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
