A poet is a nightingale who sits in darkness.... : Quote by Percy Bysshe Shelley

“ A poet is a nightingale who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors are as men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel that they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why. ”

Percy Bysshe Shelley
