[Armenian] is a rich language, however, and would amply repay any one the trouble of learning it.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

So sweet the blush of bashfuln...

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

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.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

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

Go let thy less than woman's h...

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

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.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

My hair is grey, but not with ...

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

Perhaps the early grave Which ...

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

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

The keenest pangs the wretched...

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

For a man to become a poet (wi...

For a man to become a poet (witness Petrarch and Dante), he must be in love, or miserable.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

A material resurrection seems ...

A material resurrection seems strange and even absurd except for purposes of punishment, and all punishment which is to revenge rather than correct must be morally wrong, and when the World is at an end, what moral or warning purpose can eternal tortures answer?

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

I am surrounded here by parson...

I am surrounded here by parsons and methodists, but as you will see, not infested with the mania.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

The basis of your religion is ...

The basis of your religion is injustice. The Son of God the pure, the immaculate, the innocent, is sacrificed for the guilty. This proves his heroism, but no more does away with man's sin than a school boy's volunteering to be flogged for another would exculpate a dunce from negligence.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

'Twas strange that one so youn...

'Twas strange that one so young should thus concern His brain about the action of the sky; If you think 'twas philosophy that this did, I can't help thinking puberty assisted.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

And Mocha's berry, from Arabia...

And Mocha's berry, from Arabia pure, In small fine china cups, came in at last. Gold cups of filigree, made to secure the hand from burning, underneath them place. Cloves, cinnamon and saffron, too, were boiled Up with the coffee, which, I think, they spoiled.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

But beef is rare within these ...

But beef is rare within these oxless isles; Goat's flesh there is, no doubt, and kid, and mutton; And, when a holiday upon them smiles, A joint upon their barbarous spits they put on.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

Nothing so fretful, so despica...

Nothing so fretful, so despicable as a Scribbler, see what I am, and what a parcel of Scoundrels I have brought about my ears, and what language I have been obliged to treat them with to deal with them in their own way; - all this comes of Authorship.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

The premises are so delightful...

The premises are so delightfully extensive, that two people might live together without ever seeing, hearing or meeting.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

I have seen a thousand graves ...

I have seen a thousand graves opened, and always perceived that whatever was gone, the teeth and hair remained of those who had died with them. Is not this odd? They go the very first things in youth and yet last the longest in the dust.

George Gordon Byron 714 quotes

I've seen your stormy seas and...

I've seen your stormy seas and stormy women, And pity lovers rather more than seamen.
