Quote

And dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy They have a weight upon our waking thoughts, They take a weight from off our waking toils, They do divide our being.

Then, fare thee well, deceitful Maid!
Lord Byron
Image
And those who saw, it did surprise, Such drops could fall from human eyes.
Lord Byron

Tyranny Is far the worst of treasons. Dost thou deem None rebels except subjects? The prince who Neglects or violates his trust is more A brigand than the robber-chief.
Lord Byron
