24 quotes, most often on Poetry, Love and Power.
Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desart.
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings.” Look on my works ye Mighty, and despair!
O, wind, If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine In one spirit meet and mingle. Why not I with thine?
The sunlight clasps the earth And the moonbeams kiss the sea: What is all this sweet work worth If thou kiss not me?
Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory— Odours, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken.
Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you— Ye are many—they are few.
Hail to thee, blithe spirit! Bird thou never wert, That from heaven, or near it, Pourest thy full heart In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.
