Lord Byron
Image
It has been said that the immortality of the soul is a grand peut-tre -but still it is a grand one. Everybody clings to it -the stupidest, and dullest, and wickedest of human bipeds is still persuaded that he is immortal.
Lord Byron
Image
Hearts will break - yet brokenly, live on.
Lord Byron
Image
Oh who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried.

There are some feelings time cannot benumb, Nor torture shake.
