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
And Doubt and Discord step 'twixt thine and thee.
Lord Byron
A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.
Lord Byron
That famish'd people must be slowly nurst, and fed by spoonfuls, else they always burst.
Lord Byron
Parting day Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang imbues With a new colour as it gasps away, The last still loveliest, till-'t is gone, and all is gray.
Lord Byron
Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter, sermons and soda water the day after.
Lord Byron
I am surrounded here by parsons and methodists, but as you will see, not infested with the mania.
Lord Byron
If from society we learn to live, solitude should teach us how to die.
Lord Byron
Sleep hath its own world, and the wide realm of wild reality.
Lord Byron
I have no consistency, except in politics and that probably arises from my indifference to the subject altogether.
Lord Byron
The keenest pangs the wretched find Are rapture to the dreary void, The leafless desert of the mind, The waste of feelings unemployed.
Lord Byron
I am acquainted with no immaterial sensuality so delightful as good acting.
Lord Byron
The great object of life is Sensation - to feel that we exist - even though in pain - it is this craving void which drives us to gaming - to battle - to travel - to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.
Lord Byron
Retirement accords with the tone of my mind I will not descend to a world I despise.
Lord Byron
Grieving, if aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over the unreturning brave.
Lord Byron
Oh who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried.
Lord Byron
I know that two and two make four - and should be glad to prove it too if I could - though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert 2 and 2 into five it would give me much greater pleasure.
Lord Byron
So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice.
Lord Byron
The world is a bundle of hay, Mankind are the asses that pull, Each tugs in a different way And the greatest of all is John Bull!
Lord Byron
The premises are so delightfully extensive, that two people might live together without ever seeing, hearing or meeting.
Lord Byron
Few things surpass old wine and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain
Lord Byron
