Image
A little still she strove, and much repented, And whispering “I will ne'er consent”—consented.
Lord Byron
Image
If from society we learn to live, solitude should teach us how to die.
Lord Byron
Image
Not to admire, is all the art I know To make men happy, or to keep them so. Thus Horace wrote we all know long ago And thus Pope quotes the precept to re-teach From his translation but had none admired, Would Pope have sung, or Horace been inspired?
Lord Byron
Image
With thee all tales are sweet each clime has charms earth - sea alike - our world within our arms.
Lord Byron
Image
Your thief looks Exactly like the rest, or rather better 'Tis only at the bar, and in the dungeon, That wise men know your felon by his features.

Lord Byron
Image
'Twas strange that one so young should thus concern His brain about the action of the sky If you think 'twas philosophy that this did, I can't help thinking puberty assisted.
Lord Byron
Image
If a man proves too clearly and convincingly to himself...that a tiger is an optical illusion--well, he will find out he is wrong. The tiger will himself intervene in the discussion, in a manner which will be in every sense conclusive.
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
No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!
Lord Byron
Image
And then he danced,-all foreigners excel the serious Angels in the eloquence of pantomime-he danced, I say, right well, with emphasis, and a'so with good sense-a thing in footing indispensable: he danced without theatrical pretence, not like a ballet-master in the van of his drill'd nymphs, but like a gentleman.

Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray Marathon.
Lord Byron
Image
I stood among them, but not of them: in a shroud of thoughts which were not their thoughts.
Lord Byron
