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.

Image
I am surrounded here by parsons and methodists, but as you will see, not infested with the mania.
Lord Byron
Image
I stood among them, but not of them: in a shroud of thoughts which were not their thoughts.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
But there are wanderers o'er Eternity Whose bark drives on and on, and anchor'd ne'er shall be.
Lord Byron
Image
It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
Lord Byron
Image
Why I came here, I know not where I shall go it is useless to inquire - in the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, systems, infinity, why should I be anxious about an atom?
Lord Byron
Image
I should like to know who has been carried off, except poor dear me - I have been more ravished myself than anybody since the Trojan war.
Lord Byron
Image
By Heaven! it is a splendid sight to see For one who hath no friend, no brother there.
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
Image
And hold up to the sun my little taper.
Lord Byron
Image
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Lord Byron
Image
Next to dressing for a rout or ball, undressing is a woe.
Lord Byron
Image
Know ye the land where the cypress and myrtle Are emblems of deeds that are done in their clime? Where the rage of the vulture, the love of the turtle, Now melt into sorrow, now madden to crime!
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
The simple Wordsworth . . . / Who, both by precept and example, shows / That prose is verse, and verse is merely prose.
Lord Byron
Image
Fair Greece! sad relic of departed worth! Immortal, though no more! though fallen, great!
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
Had sigh'd to many, though he loved but one.
Lord Byron
Image
Curiosity kills itself and love is only curiosity, as is proved by its end.

The poetry of speech.
