But at sixteen the conscience ...

But at sixteen the conscience rarely gnaws So much, as when we call our old debts in At sixty years, and draw the accounts of evil, And find a deuced balance with the devil.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Yet smelt roast meat, beheld a huge fire shine, And cooks in motion with their clean arms bared.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Such is your cold coquette, wh...

Such is your cold coquette, who can't say 'No,' And won't say 'Yes,' and keeps you on and off-ing On a lee-shore, till it begins to blow, Then sees your heart wreck'd, with an inward scoffing.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Nor all that heralds rake from...

Nor all that heralds rake from coffin'd clay, Nor florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme, Can blazon evil deeds, or consecrate a crime.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

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 . . . / ...

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

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

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.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Admire, exult, despise, laugh,...

Admire, exult, despise, laugh, weep for here There is such matter for all feelings: Man! Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

To what gulfs A single deviati...

To what gulfs A single deviation from the track Of human duties leads even those who claim The homage of mankind as their born due, And find it, till they forfeit it themselves!

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Never to talk to ones self is ...

Never to talk to ones self is a form of hypocrisy

Physicians mend or end us, Secundum artem; but although we sneer - In health - when ill we call them to attend us, Without the least propensity to jeer

Such hath it been--shall be--beneath the sun The many still must labour for the one.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Eternal Spirit of the chainles...

Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind! Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art, For there thy habitation is the heart-- The heart which love of thee alone can bind; And when thy sons to fetters are consign'd-- To fetters and damp vault's dayless gloom, Their country conquers with their martyrdom.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

A mighty mass of brick, and sm...

A mighty mass of brick, and smoke, and shipping, Dirty and dusty, but as wide as eye Could reach, with here and there a sail just skipping In sight, then lost amidst the forestry Of masts; a wilderness of steeples peeping On tiptoe through their sea-coal canopy; A huge, dun cupola, like a fools-cap crown On a fool's head - and there is London Town.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Marriage, from love, like vine...

Marriage, from love, like vinegar from wine-- A sad, sour sober beverage--by time Is sharpened from its high celestial flavor Down to a very homely household savor.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Few things surpass old wine; a...

Few things surpass old wine; and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

The image of Eternity--the thr...

The image of Eternity--the throne Of the Invisible; even from out thy slime The monsters of the deep are made; each zone Obeys thee; thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

There's not a sea the passenger e'er pukes in, Turns up more dangerous breakers than the Euxine.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

From the mingled strength of s...

From the mingled strength of shade and light A new creation rises to my sight, Such heav'nly figures from his pencil flow, So warm with light his blended colors glow. . . . . The glowing portraits, fresh from life, that bring Home to our hearts the truth from which they spring.
