I learned to love despair.
Lord Byron
Image
I should like to know who has been carried off, except poor dear me - I have been more ravished myself than anybody since the Trojan war.
Lord Byron
Image
And I would hear yet once before I perish The voice which was my music... Speak to me!
Lord Byron
Image
Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save.
Lord Byron

The Niobe of nations! there she stands.
Lord Byron
