Lord Byron
Image
Man marks the earth with ruin - his control stops with the shore.
Lord Byron
Image
I really cannot know whether I am or am not the Genius you are pleased to call me, but I am very willing to put up with the mistake, if it be one.
Lord Byron
Image
Champagne with its foaming whirls/As white as Cleopatra's pearls.
Lord Byron
Image
I am always most religious upon a sunshiny day.
Lord Byron
Image
Though the day of my Destiny 's over, And the star of my Fate hath declined, Thy soft heart refused to discover The faults which so many could find.
Lord Byron
Image
Go let thy less than woman's hand Assume the distaff not the brand.
Lord Byron

Had sigh'd to many, though he loved but one.
Lord Byron

The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars Did wander darkling in the eternal space.
