They truly mourn, that mourn without a witness.
Lord Byron
Image
You should have a softer pillow than my heart.
Lord Byron
Image
And those who saw, it did surprise, Such drops could fall from human eyes.
Lord Byron
Image
Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our Spartan dead! Of the three hundred grant but three, To make a new Thermopylæ!
Lord Byron
Image
I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned.
Lord Byron
Image
The mind can make substance, and people planets of its own with beings brighter than have been, and give a breath to forms which can outlive all flesh.
Lord Byron
Image
Then, fare thee well, deceitful Maid!
Lord Byron
Image
This man is freed from servile bands, Of hope to rise, or fear to fall Lord of himself, though not of lands, And leaving nothing, yet hath all.
Lord Byron
Image
Years steal fire from the mind as vigor from the limb and life's enchanted cup but sparkles near the brim.
Lord Byron
Image
Be hypocritical, be cautious, be not what you seem but always what you see.
Lord Byron
Image
I do not believe in any religion, I will have nothing to do with immortality. We are miserable enough in this life without speculating upon another.
Lord Byron
Image
Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge.
Lord Byron
Image
This sort of adoration of the real is but a heightening of the beau ideal.
Lord Byron
Image
Next to dressing for a rout or ball, undressing is a woe.
Lord Byron
Image
And the commencement of atonement is the sense of its necessity.
Lord Byron
Image
If I could always read, I should never feel the want of company.
Lord Byron
Image
I was accused of every monstrous vice by public rumour and private rancour my name, which had been a knightly or noble one, was tainted. I felt that, if what was whispered, and muttered, and murmured, was true, I was unfit for England if false, England was unfit for me.
Lord Byron
Image
Pure friendship's well-feigned blush.
Lord Byron
Image
With flowing tail and flying mane, Wide nostrils never stretched by pain, Mouth bloodless to bit or rein, And feet that iron never shod, And flanks unscar'd by spur or rod, A thousand horses - the wild - the free - Like waves that follow o'er the sea, Came thickly thundering on.
Lord Byron
Image
Admire, exult, despise, laugh, weep for here There is such matter for all feelings: Man! Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear.
Lord Byron
