Fair Greece! sad relic of departed worth! Immortal, though no more! though fallen, great!
Lord Byron
Image
There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself and every thing else, if there is a woman within ken.
Lord Byron

Yon Sun that sets upon the sea We follow in his flight Farewell awhile to him and thee, My native land-Good Night!
Lord Byron

Jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
Image
I should, many a good day, have blown my brains out, but for the recollection that it would have given pleasure to my mother-in-law.
Lord Byron

Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray Marathon.
Lord Byron
Image
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.

Fame is the thirst of youth.
Lord Byron

I am surrounded here by parsons and methodists, but as you will see, not infested with the mania.
