Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Image
Out of chaos God made a world, and out of high passions comes a people.
Lord Byron
Image
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
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
Ah, nut-brown partridges! Ah, brilliant pheasants! And ah, ye poachers!--'Tis no sport for peasants.
Lord Byron
Image
The world is a bundle of hay, Mankind are the asses that pull, Each tugs in a different way And the greatest of all is John Bull!
Lord Byron
Image
I am acquainted with no immaterial sensuality so delightful as good acting.
Lord Byron
Image
And gentle winds and waters near, make music to the lonely ear.
Lord Byron
Image
Yes, love indeed is light from heaven A spark of that immortal fire with angels shared, by Allah given to lift from earth our low desire.
