„Láska sa rodí z očarenia a krásy. Keď je utláčaná, umiera. Najčistejšia a najdokonalejšia je vtedy, keď jej účastníci sú si rovní a bezvýhradne si dôverujú.“
— Percy Bysshe Shelley

„Dust to the dust! but the pure spirit shall flow
Back to the burning fountain whence it came,
A portion of the Eternal.“
— Percy Bysshe Shelley, Adonaïs
Adonais (1821), Context: He wakes or sleeps with the enduring dead;
Thou canst not soar where he is sitting now -
Dust to the dust! but the pure spirit shall flow
Back to the burning fountain whence it came,
A portion of the Eternal.
St. XXXVIII
„The sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?“

Love's Philosophy (1819), st. 2
„I have drunken deep of joy,
And I will taste no other wine tonight.“

„The day becomes more solemn and serene
When noon is past; there is a harmony
In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer is not heard or seen“
— Percy Bysshe Shelley
Hymn to Intellectual Beauty (1816), Context: The day becomes more solemn and serene
When noon is past; there is a harmony
In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!
Thus let thy power, which like the truth
Of nature on my passive youth
Descended, to my onward life supply
Its calm, to one who worships thee,
And every form containing thee,
Whom, SPIRIT fair, thy spells did bind
To fear himself, and love all human kind.
St. 7
„She faded, like a cloud which had outwept its rain.“
— Percy Bysshe Shelley, Adonaïs
Adonais (1821), Context: Lost Angel of a ruined Paradise!
She knew not 'twas her own; as with no stain
She faded, like a cloud which had outwept its rain.
St. X
„I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: — Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert.“
— Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ozymandias
Ozymandias (1818), Context: I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: — Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
„Ah, woe is me! Winter is come and gone,
But grief returns with the revolving year.“
— Percy Bysshe Shelley, Adonaïs
Adonais (1821), St. XVIII
