Death is the veil which those who live call life; They sleep, and it is lifted.
Percy Bysshe ShelleyEverytime we say that god is the author of some phenomenon, that signifies that we are ignorant of how such a phenomenon was caused by the forces of nature.
Percy Bysshe ShelleyThen black despair, The shadow of a starless night, was thrown Over the world in which I moved alone.
Percy Bysshe ShelleyTo suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite; To forgive wrongs darker than death or night; To defy Power, which seems omnipotent; To love, and bear; to hope till Hope creates From it's own wreck the thing it contemplates; Neither to change, not falter, nor repent; This, like thy glory, Titan, is to be Good, great and joyous,beautiful and free; This is alone Life, Joy, Empire, and Victory
