And dreams in their developmen...

And dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy; They have a weight upon our waking thoughts, They take a weight from off our waking toils, They do divide our being.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Man is a carnivorous productio...

Man is a carnivorous production, And must have meals, at least one meal a day; He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction, But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey; Although his anatomical construction Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way, Your laboring people think beyond all question, Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

The simple Wordsworth . . . / Who, both by precept and example, shows / That prose is verse, and verse is merely prose.

What is the end of Fame? 'tis ...

What is the end of Fame? 'tis but to fill A certain portion of uncertain paper: Some liken it to climbing up a hill, Whose summit, like all hills, is lost in vapour: For this men write, speak, preach, and heroes kill, And bards burn what they call their 'midnight taper,' To have, when the original is dust, A name, a wretched picture, and worse bust.

I depart, Whither I know not; ...

I depart, Whither I know not; but the hour's gone by When Albion's lessening shores could grieve or glad mine eye.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Sorrow preys upon Its solitude...

Sorrow preys upon Its solitude, and nothing more diverts it From its sad visions of the other world Than calling it at moments back to this. The busy have no time for tears.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

May Moorland weavers boast Pin...

May Moorland weavers boast Pindaric skill, And tailors' lays be longer than their bill! While punctual beaux reward the grateful notes, And pay for poems--when they pay for coats.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

O ye! who teach the ingenious ...

O ye! who teach the ingenious youth of nations, Holland, France, England, Germany or Spain, I pray ye flog them upon all occasions, It mends their morals, never mind the pain.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Tis pleasing to be school'd in...

Tis pleasing to be school'd in a strange tongue By female lips and eyes--that is, I mean, When both the teacher and the taught are young, As was the case, at least, where I have been; They smile so when one's right; and when one's wrong They smile still more.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

So bright the tear in Beauty's...

So bright the tear in Beauty's eye, Love half regrets to kiss it dry.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

There is a tear for all who di...

There is a tear for all who die, A mourner o'er the humblest grave.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Oh! too convincing--dangerousl...

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.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Your thief looks Exactly like ...

Your thief looks Exactly like the rest, or rather better; 'Tis only at the bar, and in the dungeon, That wise men know your felon by his features.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Kill a man's family, and he may brook it, But keep your hands out of his breeches' pocket.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

What exile from himself can fl...

What exile from himself can flee? To zones, though more and more remote, Still, still pursues, where'er I be, The blight of life--the demon Thought.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Which cheers the sad, revives ...

Which cheers the sad, revives the old, inspires The young, makes Weariness forget his toil, And Fear her danger; opens a new world When this, the present, palls.

Think you, if Laura had been Petrarch's wife, He would have written sonnets all his life?.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

As winds come whispering light...

As winds come whispering lightly from the West, Kissing, not ruffling, the blue deep's serene.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

The devil hath not, in all his...

The devil hath not, in all his quiver's choice, An arrow for the heart like a sweet voice.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Do proper homage to thine idol...

Do proper homage to thine idol's eyes; But no too humbly, or she will despise Thee and thy suit, though told in moving tropes: Disguise even tenderness if thou art wise.
