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

And angling too, that solitary vice, What Izaak Walton sings or says: The quaint, old, cruel coxcomb, in his gullet Should have a hook, and a small trout to pull it.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Twas twilight, and the sunless day went down Over the waste of waters; like a veil, Which, if withdrawn, would but disclose the frown Of one whose hate is mask'd but to assail.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Think'st thou there is no tyra...

Think'st thou there is no tyranny but that Of blood and chains? The despotism of vice-- The weakness and the wickedness of luxury-- The negligence--the apathy--the evils Of sensual sloth--produces ten thousand tyrants, Whose delegated cruelty surpasses The worst acts of one energetic master, However harsh and hard in his own bearing.

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

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.

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.

Tis an old lesson; time approves it true, And those who know it best, deplore it most; When all is won that all desire to woo, The paltry prize is hardly worth the cost.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

The heart ran o'er With silent worship of the great of old!-- The dead, but sceptred sovereigns, who still rule Our spirits from their urns.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

I live, but live to die: and, ...

I live, but live to die: and, living, see nothing to make death hateful, save an innate clinging, a loathsome and yet all invincible instinct of life, which I abhor, as I despise myself,
yet cannot overcome Ђ' and so I live. Would I had never lived!

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

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

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

Glory, like the phoenix 'midst...

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