Percy Bysshe Shelley Quotes About Summer

Quotes about: Summer

• There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!

  Percy Bysshe Shelley

  Summer, Fall, Autumn

  'Hymn to Intellectual Beauty' (1816)

• Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams The blue Mediterranean, where he lay, Lull'd by the coil of his crystalline streams Beside a pumice isle in Baiæ's bay, And saw in sleep old palaces and towers Quivering within the wave's intenser day, All overgrown with azure moss and flowers So sweet, the sense faints picturing them.

  Percy Bysshe Shelley

  Summer, Dream, Sweet

  'Ode to the West Wind' (1819) l. 29

• The awful shadow of some unseen Power Floats though unseen among us; visiting This various world with as inconstant wing As summer winds that creep from flower to flower; Like moonbeams that behind some piny mountain shower, It visits with inconstant glance Each human heart and countenance; Like hues and harmonies of evening, Like clouds in starlight widely spread, Like memory of music fled, Like aught that for its grace may be Dear, and yet dearer for its mystery.

  Percy Bysshe Shelley

  Summer, Memories, Flower

  'Hymn to Intellectual Beauty' (1816)

• The day becomes more solemn and serene When noon is past; there is a harmony In autumn, and a lustre in its sky, Which through the summer is not heard or seen, As if it could not be, as if it had not been! Thus let thy power, which like the truth Of nature on my passive youth Descended, to my onward life supply Its calm, to one who worships thee, And every form containing thee, Whom, SPIRIT fair, thy spells did bind To fear himself, and love all human kind.

  Percy Bysshe Shelley

  Summer, Autumn, Past
