Music, when soft voices die
Percy Bysshe Shelley

A poet, dramatist, and essayist, Shelley was a radical in his poetry as well as in his political and social views.

Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory — Odours, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heaped for the belovèd’s bed; And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on.
