Quote by Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Daemon

Mild is the slow necessity of death;The tranquil spirit fails beneath its grasp,Without a groan, almost without a fear,Resigned in peace to the necessity;Calm as a voyager to some distant land,And full of wonder, full of hope as he.

Mild is the slow necessity of death;The tranquil spirit fail
