Then rose from sea to sky the wild farewell Then shriek'd the timid, and stood still the brave, Then some leap'd overboard with fearful yell, As eager to anticipate their grave.

More quotes by Lord Byron
The reason that adulation is not displeasing is that, though untrue, it shows one to be of consequence enough, in one way or other, to induce people to lie.
Lord Byron
Go let thy less than woman's hand Assume the distaff not the brand.
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
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
Nothing so difficult as a beginning In poesy, unless perhaps the end.
Lord Byron
He makes a solitude, and calls it - peace!
Lord Byron
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.
Lord Byron
The waves were dead the tides were in their grave, The moon, their mistress, had expir'd before The winds were wither'd in the stagnant air, And the clouds perish'd Darkness had no need Of aid from them-She was the Universe.
Lord Byron
Alas! how deeply painful is all payment!
Lord Byron
Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our Spartan dead! Of the three hundred grant but three, To make a new Thermopylæ!
Lord Byron
Now I shall go to sleep. Goodnight.
Lord Byron
Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
Lord Byron
In England the only homage which they pay to Virtue - is hypocrisy.
Lord Byron
He who is only just is cruel who Upon the earth would live were all judged justly?
Lord Byron
The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron
My altars are the mountains and the ocean.
Lord Byron
And Doubt and Discord step 'twixt thine and thee.
Lord Byron
Now what I love in women is, they won't Or can't do otherwise than lie, but do it. So well, the very truth seems falsehood to it.
Lord Byron
What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.
Lord Byron
Heaven gives its favourites-early death.
Lord Byron
