Image
Better to sink beneath the shock Than moulder piecemeal on the rock!
Lord Byron
Image
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Lord Byron
Image
If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing. I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.
Lord Byron
Image
Venice once was dear, The pleasant place of all festivity, The revel of the earth, the masque of Italy.
Lord Byron
Image
Jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
Image
A material resurrection seems strange and even absurd except for purposes of punishment, and all punishment which is to revenge rather than correct must be morally wrong, and when the World is at an end, what moral or warning purpose can eternal tortures answer?
Lord Byron
Image
And Doubt and Discord step 'twixt thine and thee.
Lord Byron
Image
Smiles form the channels of a future tear.
Lord Byron
Image
With thee all tales are sweet each clime has charms earth - sea alike - our world within our arms.
Lord Byron
Image
My slumbers--if I slumber--are not sleep, But a continuance of enduring thought, Which then I can resist not: in my heart There is a vigil, and these eyes but close To look within and yet I live, and bear The aspect and the form of breathing men.
Lord Byron
Image
Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge.
Lord Byron
Image
He learned the arts of riding, fencing, gunnery, And how to scale a fortress - or a nunnery.
Lord Byron
Image
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.
Lord Byron
Image
I came to realize clearly that the mind is no other than the Mountain and the Rivers and the great wide Earth, the Sun and the Moon and the Sky”.
Lord Byron
Image
Constancy... that small change of love, which people exact so rigidly, receive in such counterfeit coin, and repay in baser metal.
Lord Byron
Image
Alas! how deeply painful is all payment!
Lord Byron
Image
This quiet sail is as a noiseless wing To waft me from distraction.
Lord Byron
Image
There is no passion, more spectral or fantastical than hate, not even its opposite, love, so peoples air, with phantoms, as this madness of the heart.
Lord Byron
Image
There is no instinct like that of the heart.
Lord Byron
Image
This sort of adoration of the real is but a heightening of the beau ideal.
Lord Byron
