The waves were dead the tides were in their grave, The moon, their mistress, had expir'd before The winds were wither'd in the stagnant air, And the clouds perish'd Darkness had no need Of aid from them-She was the Universe.

More quotes by Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Of religion I know nothing -- at least, in its favor.
Lord Byron

And what is writ is writ - / Would it were worthier!
Lord Byron
Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge.
Lord Byron
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
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.
Lord Byron
