Dictum Diei: I bleed!

"I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!"

-Percy Bysshe Shelley, from "Ode to the West Wind"

This is in my opinion, perhaps the most hilarious line in English Romantic poetry. I can't read this line without imagining Shelley tripping into a bush, and immediately fainting with a shriek at the sight of his own blood. My image isn't appropriate in context of the poem, perhaps, but I still maintain that this is a rubbish line.
