Oh, Mirth and Innocence! Oh, Milk and Water! Ye happy mixture of more happy days!
Lord Byron
Image
Be hypocritical, be cautious, be not what you seem but always what you see.
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
Oh who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried.
Lord Byron
Image
There is music in all things, if men had ears.

And hold up to the sun my little taper.
