Famous quotes containing the word shelley:
“Within my heart is the lamp of love,
And that is day!”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“There grew pied wind-flowers and violets,
Daisies, those pearl’d Arcturi of the earth,
The constellated flower that never sets;
Faint oxlips; tender bluebells at whose birth
The sod scarce heaved; and that tall flower that wets
Its mother’s face with heaven-collected tears,
When the low wind, its playmate’s voice, it hears.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“The slimy caverns of the populous deep.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
