Image
No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!
Lord Byron
Image
Farewell! if ever fondest prayer For other's weal avail'd on high, Mine will not all be lost in air, But waft thy name beyond the sky.
Lord Byron
Image
Where are the forms the sculptor's soul hath seized? In him alone, Can nature show as fair?
Lord Byron
Image
For what were all these country patriots born? To hunt, and vote, and raise the price of corn?
Lord Byron
Image
Divine in hookas, glorious in a pipe When tipp'd with amber, mellow, rich, and ripe... Yet thy true lovers more admire by far Thy naked beauties - give me a cigar!
Lord Byron
Image
I slept and dreamt that life was beauty I woke and found that life was duty.
Lord Byron
Image
We are all the fools of time and terror: Days Steal on us and steal from us yet we live, Loathing our life, and dreading still to die.
Lord Byron
Image
But there are wanderers o'er Eternity Whose bark drives on and on, and anchor'd ne'er shall be.
Lord Byron
Image
My native land, good night!
Lord Byron
Image
So sweet the blush of bashfulness, E'en pity scarce can wish it less!
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
Curiosity kills itself and love is only curiosity, as is proved by its end.
Lord Byron
Image
Damn description, it is always disgusting.
Lord Byron
Image
Constancy... that small change of love, which people exact so rigidly, receive in such counterfeit coin, and repay in baser metal.
Lord Byron
Image
What deep wounds ever closed without a scar? The hearts bleed longest, and heals but to wear That which disfigures it.
Lord Byron
Image
Let not his mode of raising cash seem strange, Although he fleeced the flags of every nation, For into a prime minister but change His title, and 'tis nothing but taxation.
Lord Byron
Image
The image of Eternity--the throne Of the Invisible even from out thy slime The monsters of the deep are made each zone Obeys thee thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone.
Lord Byron
Image
Religion-freedom-vengeance-what you will, A word's enough to raise mankind to kill.
Lord Byron
Image
Jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
Image
And life 's enchanted cup but sparkles near the brim.
Lord Byron
