Where are the forms the sculptor's soul hath seized? In him alone, Can nature show as fair?
Lord Byron
Image
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!
Lord Byron
Image
Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter, sermons and soda water the day after.
Lord Byron
Image
Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place, With one fair spirit for my minister
Lord Byron
Image
That famish'd people must be slowly nurst, and fed by spoonfuls, else they always burst.
Lord Byron
Image
In England the only homage which they pay to Virtue - is hypocrisy.
Lord Byron
Image
When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past - For years fleet away with the wings of the dove - The dearest remembrance will still be the last, Our sweetest memorial the first kiss of love.
Lord Byron
Image
And hold up to the sun my little taper.
Lord Byron
