A Literary Invisibles Question

Wondered if any of you knew.....

In "Arcadia" (p.127 of the TPB, p.4 of Issue #5), Shelley, in panel 4 says "A cannon fires only once but words detonate across centuries." Does anyone know if this is an actual quote of Shelley's, of Grant's, or a paraphrasing of someone else? I adore the quotation, and would love to know who really said it.
