About This Quote
War and death are the most feared forces in the world. They’re so many and so frightening that we can barely comprehend them. And yet, we all must go through them one day or another. So, it is only natural that we fear death as well as war. In his poem "You Must Know That I Am Made Of Death," Percy Bysshe Shelley spoke of those feelings and expressed that fear by creating a monster that came true: "You must know that I am made of death, from head to foot, and it is a corpse who loves you and adores you and will never, never leave you!
