Here's another verse from Shelley, most fitting and appropriate 
words of lament in recognition of our loss: 


He hath awakened from the dream of life-- 
'Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep 
With phantoms an unprofitable strife, 
And in mad trance, strike with our spirit's knife 
Invulnerable nothings.  

"Adonais"  


"Invulnerable nothings" -- good invective for network nitwits, no?
