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
Image

Lord Byron
Image
Be hypocritical, be cautious, be not what you seem but always what you see.
Lord Byron
Image
My altars are the mountains and the ocean.
Lord Byron
Image
Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter, sermons and soda water the day after.
Lord Byron
Image
I can't but say it is an awkward sight To see one's native land receding through The growing waters it unmans one quite, Especially when life is rather new.
Lord Byron
Image
I loved my country, and I hated him.
Lord Byron
Image
Sighing that Nature formed but one such man, and broke the die.
Lord Byron
