Who tracks the steps of glory to the grave?
Lord Byron

I doubt sometimes whether a quiet and unagitated life would have suited me - yet I sometimes long for it.
Lord Byron
Image
I am surrounded here by parsons and methodists, but as you will see, not infested with the mania.
Lord Byron
Image
The art of angling, the cruelest, the coldest and the stupidest of pretended sports.
Lord Byron
Image
One hates an author that's all author.
Lord Byron
Image
Know ye the land where the cypress and myrtle Are emblems of deeds that are done in their clime? Where the rage of the vulture, the love of the turtle, Now melt into sorrow, now madden to crime!
Lord Byron
