Like to the apples on the Dead Sea's shore, All ashes to the taste.
Lord Byron
Image
Dead scandals form good subjects for dissection.
Lord Byron
Image
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.
Lord Byron
Image
By headless Charles see heartless Henry lies.
Lord Byron
Image
Constancy... that small change of love, which people exact so rigidly, receive in such counterfeit coin, and repay in baser metal.
Lord Byron
Image
My slumbers--if I slumber--are not sleep, But a continuance of enduring thought, Which then I can resist not: in my heart There is a vigil, and these eyes but close To look within and yet I live, and bear The aspect and the form of breathing men.
Lord Byron
Image
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Lord Byron
Image
Oh who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried.
Lord Byron
Image
Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the earth with ruin, but his control stops with the shore.
Lord Byron
Image
Oh! too convincing--dangerously dear-- In woman's eye the unanswerable tear! That weapon of her weakness she can wield, To save, subdue--at once her spear and shield.
Lord Byron
Image
Have not all past human beings parted, And must not all the present, one day part?
Lord Byron
Image
Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.
Lord Byron
Image
It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a luster obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment - but who can be sure that the Imagination is not the torch-bearer?
Lord Byron
Image
Champagne with its foaming whirls/As white as Cleopatra's pearls.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
Books, Manuals, Directives, Regulations. The geometries that circumscribe your working life draw norrower and norrower until nothing fits inside them anymore.
Lord Byron
Image
Retirement accords with the tone of my mind I will not descend to a world I despise.
Lord Byron
Image
For what were all these country patriots born? To hunt, and vote, and raise the price of corn?
Lord Byron
Image
With thee all tales are sweet each clime has charms earth - sea alike - our world within our arms.
Lord Byron
Image
Just as old age is creeping on space, And clouds come o'er the sunset of our day, They kindly leave us, though not quite alone, But in good company--the gout or stone.
Lord Byron
