Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes
Whether That Lady's Gentle Mind,
No Longer With The Form Combined
Which Scattered Love, As Stars Do Light,
Found Sadness Where It Left Delight,
I Dare Not Guess; But In This Life
Of Error, Ignorance, And Strife,
Where Nothing Is, But All Things Seem,
And We The Shadows Of The Dream,
It Is A Modest Creed, And Yet
Pleasant If One Considers It,
To Own That Death Itself Must Be,
Like All The Rest, A Mockery.
That Garden Sweet, That Lady Fair,
And All Sweet Shapes And Odors There,
In Truth Have Never Passed Away:
'Tis We, 'tis Ours, Are Changed; Not They.
For Love, And Beauty, And Delight,
There Is No Death Or Change: Their Might
Exceeds Our Organs, Which Endure
No Light, Being Themselves Obscure.
(--Conclusion, Autumn - A Dirge)
