The simple Wordsworth . . . / Who, both by precept and example, shows / That prose is verse, and verse is merely prose.

More quotes by Lord Byron
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
There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
Lord Byron
Of religion I know nothing -- at least, in its favor.
Lord Byron
Nothing so difficult as a beginning In poesy, unless perhaps the end.
Lord Byron
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
No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!
Lord Byron
Oh Rome! My country! City of the soul!
Lord Byron
Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind! Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art, For there thy habitation is the heart-- The heart which love of thee alone can bind And when thy sons to fetters are consign'd-- To fetters and damp vault's dayless gloom, Their country conquers with their martyrdom.
Lord Byron
None are so desolate but something dear, Dearer than self, possesses or possess'd A thought, and claims the homage of a tear.
Lord Byron
Every day confirms my opinion on the superiority of a vicious life, and if Virtue is not its own reward, I don't know any other stipend annexed to it.
Lord Byron
A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.
Lord Byron
This is to be mortal, And seek the things beyond mortality.
Lord Byron
The English winter - ending in July to recommence in August
Lord Byron
The truly brave are soft of heart and eyes, and feel for what their duty bids them do.
Lord Byron
It is not one man nor a million, but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are, one by one, broken, but the ocean conquers nevertheless. It overwhelms the Armada, it wears out the rock. In like manner, whatever the struggle of individuals, the great cause will gather strength.
Lord Byron
Bread has been made (indifferent) from potatoes And galvanism has set some corpses grinning, But has not answer'd like the apparatus Of the Humane Society's beginning, By which men are unsuffocated gratis: What wondrous new machines have late been spinning.
Lord Byron
Do proper homage to thine idol's eyes But no too humbly, or she will despise Thee and thy suit, though told in moving tropes: Disguise even tenderness if thou art wise.
Lord Byron
This is the patent-age of new inventions For killing bodies, and for saving souls, All propagated with the best intentions Sir Humphrey Davy's lantern, by which coals Are safely mined for in the mode he mentions, Tombuctoo travels, voyages to the Poles, Are ways to benefit mankind, as true, Perhaps, as shooting them at Waterloo.
Lord Byron
And Doubt and Discord step 'twixt thine and thee.
Lord Byron
The mind can make substance, and people planets of its own with beings brighter than have been, and give a breath to forms which can outlive all flesh.
Lord Byron
