Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! — Percy Bysshe Shelley · 1818"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away. — Percy Bysshe Shelley · 1818She faded, like a cloud which had outwept its rain. — Percy Bysshe Shelley · 1821Nought may endure but Mutability. — Percy Bysshe Shelley · 1816My soul is an enchanted boat,
Which, like a sleeping swan, doth float
Upon the silver waves of thy sweet singing. — Percy Bysshe Shelley · 1820Away, away, from men and towns,
To the wild wood and the downs. — Percy Bysshe Shelley · 1822All 20 quotes →
