Image
Have not all past human beings parted, And must not all the present, one day part?
Lord Byron
Image
Think'st thou existence doth depend on time? It doth but actions are our epochs.
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
Image
No words suffice the secret soul to show, For truth denies all eloquence to woe.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Image
Though the day of my Destiny 's over, And the star of my Fate hath declined, Thy soft heart refused to discover The faults which so many could find.
Lord Byron
Image
The lapse of ages changes all things - time, language, the earth, the bounds of the sea, the stars of the sky, and every thing about, around, and underneath man, except man himself.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
It is the lava of the imagination whose eruption prevents an earthquake.
Lord Byron
Image
He learned the arts of riding, fencing, gunnery, And how to scale a fortress - or a nunnery.
Lord Byron
Image
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Lord Byron
Image
Man marks the earth with ruin - his control stops with the shore.
Lord Byron
Image
The premises are so delightfully extensive, that two people might live together without ever seeing, hearing or meeting.
Lord Byron
Image
The image of Eternity--the throne Of the Invisible even from out thy slime The monsters of the deep are made each zone Obeys thee thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone.
Lord Byron
