Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes
The Life Of A Man Of Virtue And Talent, Who Should Die In His Thirtieth Year, Is, With Regard To His Own Feelings, Longer Than That Of A Miserable Priest-ridden Slave, Who Dreams Out A Century Of Dulness. The One Has Perpetually Cultivated His Mental Faculties, Has Rendered Himself Master Of His Thoughts, Can Abstract And Generalize Amid The Lethargy Of Every-day Business;--the Other Can Slumber Over The Brightest Moments Of His Being, And Is Unable To Remember The Happiest Hour Of His Life. Perhaps The Perishing Ephemeron Enjoys A Longer Life Than The Tortoise.
