The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Image

Nor all that heralds rake from coffin'd clay, Nor florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme, Can blazon evil deeds, or consecrate a crime.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Image
One hates an author that's all author.
Lord Byron
Image
Yes, love indeed is light from heaven A spark of that immortal fire with angels shared, by Allah given to lift from earth our low desire.
Lord Byron
Image
Father of Light! great God of Heaven! Hear'st thou the accents of despair? Can guilt like man's be e'er forgiven? Can vice atone for crimes by prayer.
Lord Byron
Image
The Niobe of nations! there she stands.
Lord Byron
Image
I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff- box from an emperor.

Life is too short for chess.

Frienship is eros...without wings

I am surrounded here by parsons and methodists, but as you will see, not infested with the mania.
