He didn't quite make his 30th birthday...
and he died over 200 years ago in 1822 when his boat sank in a storm off the coast of Lerici, Italy...
but he left us some timeless preselling wisdom.
Just 5 little words and 2 commas.
One of the major English Romantic poets Percy Bysshe Shelley
left us this preselling gem
>>> "Joy, once lost, is pain." <<<
Wherever there WAS joy... now there's pain.
"I finally got up the nerve to ask her out and she said yes. Wouldn't return my texts after the 2nd date."
"I used to break tackles to score touchdowns in high school. Damn knee is so bad now I can't run up and down the hall with my grandkids."
"I could eat whatever I want and not gain a pound. Now I gain 3 lbs every time a fast food commercial comes on."
Wherever joy once lived... pain answers the door.
All we gotta do is knock.
