The keenest pangs the wretched find Are rapture to the dreary void, The leafless desert of the mind, The waste of feelings unemployed.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save.

My hair is grey, but not with years, Nor grew it white In a single night, As men's have grown from sudden fears.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

The castled crag of Drachenfel...

The castled crag of Drachenfels, Frowns o'er the wide and winding Rhine, Whose breast of waters broadly swells Between the banks which bear the vine, And hills all rich with blossom'd trees, And fields which promise corn and wine, And scatter'd cities crowning these, Whose far white walls along them shine.

Go let thy less than woman's hand Assume the distaff not the brand.

Sublime tobacco! which from ea...

Sublime tobacco! which from east to west, Cheers the tar's labour or the Turkman's rest; Which on the Moslem's ottoman divides His hours, and rivals opium and his brides; Magnificent in Stamboul, but less grand, Though not less loved, in Wapping or the Strand: Divine in hookas, glorious in a pipe, When tipp'd with amber, mellow, rich, and ripe; Like other charmers wooing the caress, More dazzlingly when daring in full dress; Yet thy true lovers more admire by far Thy naked beauties Give me a cigar!

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Egypt! from whose all dateless...

Egypt! from whose all dateless tombs arose Forgotten Pharaohs from their long repose, And shook within their pyramids to hear A new Cambyses thundering in their ear; While the dark shades of forty ages stood Like startled giants by Nile's famous flood.

So sweet the blush of bashfuln...

So sweet the blush of bashfulness, E'en pity scarce can wish it less!

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.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

For through the South the custom still commands The gentleman to kiss the lady's hands.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

No words suffice the secret so...

No words suffice the secret soul to show, For truth denies all eloquence to woe.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

I die but first I have possess...

I die but first I have possessed, And come what may, I have been blessed.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Oh, talk not to me of a name g...

Oh, talk not to me of a name great in story; The days of our youth are the days of our glory; And the myrtle and ivy of sweet two-and-twenty Are worth all your laurels, though ever so plenty.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our Spartan dead! Of the three hundred grant but three, To make a new Thermopylæ!

Glory, like the phoenix 'midst...

Glory, like the phoenix 'midst her fires, Exhales her odours, blazes, and expires.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Know ye not who would be free ...

Know ye not who would be free themselves must strike the blow? by their right arms the conquest must be wrought?

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

What is Death, so it be but glorious? 'Tis a sunset; And mortals may be happy to resemble The Gods but in decay.

I am as comfortless as a pilgrim with peas in his shoes - and as cold as Charity, Chastity or any other Virtue.

Grief is fantastical, and loves the dead, And the apparel of the grave.
