| Percy Bysshe Shelley
Fear not the future, weep not for the past. He gave man speech, and speech created thought, which is the measure of the universe. His fine wit makes such a wound, the knife is lost in it. I love all waste and solitary places. If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? Nought may endure but Mutability. Oh, cease! must hate and death return? Cease! must men kill and die? Cease! drain not to its dregs the urn Of bitter prophecy. The world is weary of the past, Oh, might it die or rest at last! Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds. Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar. Revenge and wrong bring forth their kind; The foul cubs like their parents are. Reviewers, with some rare exceptions, are a most stupid and malignant race. as a bankrupt thief turns thief-taker in despair, so an unsuccessful author turns critic. Strange thoughts beget strange deeds. The world's great age begins anew, The golden years return, The earth doth like a snake renew Her winter weeds outworn: Heaven smiles, and faiths and empires gleam, Like wrecks of a dissolving dream. What is Love? It is that powerful attraction towards all that we conceive, or fear, or hope beyond ourselves. |
