Lord Byron quotes - page 10

You are the fools, not I - for I did dwell With a deep thought, and with a softened eye, On that Old Sexton's natural homily, In which there was Obscurity and Fame, The Glory and the Nothing of a Name. (Lord Byron)
Because He is all-powerful, must all-good, too, follow? I judge but by the fruits-and they are bitter- Which I must feed on for a fault not mine. View quote
Lord Byron
That which I am, I am; I did not seek For life, nor did I make myself. View quote

Jack was embarrassed - never hero more, And as he knew not what to say, he swore. View quote
Lord Byron
Seek out - less often sought than found - A Soldier's Grave, for thee the best; Then look around and choose thy Ground, And take thy Rest. View quote
Lord Byron
Whose game was empires and whose stakes were thrones, Whose table earth, whose dice were human bones. View quote

Oh, Amos Cottle! Phœbus! what a name! (Lord Byron)
'Twas thine own genius gave the final blow, And help'd to plant the wound that laid thee low: So the struck eagle, stretch'd upon the plain, No more through rolling clouds to soar again, View'd his own feather on the fatal dart, And wing'd the shaft that quiver'd in his heart. View quote
Lord Byron
Where the virgins are soft as the roses they twine, And all, save the spirit of man, is divine? View quote
Lord Byron
Who hath not proved how feebly words essay To fix one spark of beauty's heavenly ray? Who doth not feel, until his failing sight Faints into dimness with its own delight, His changing cheek, his sinking heart, confess The might, the majesty of loveliness? View quote
Lord Byron
He who hath bent him o'er the dead Ere the first day of death is fled,- The first dark day of nothingness, The last of danger and distress, Before decay's effacing fingers Have swept the lines where beauty lingers. View quote
Lord Byron
Such is the aspect of this shore; 'T is Greece, but living Greece no more! So coldly sweet, so deadly fair, We start, for soul is wanting there. View quote
Lord Byron
Shrine of the mighty! can it be That this is all remains of thee? View quote
Lord Byron
The cold in clime are cold in blood, Their love can scarce deserve the name. View quote
Lord Byron
She was a form of life and light That seen, became a part of sight, And rose, where'er I turn'd mine eye, The morning-star of memory! Yes, love indeed is light from heaven; A spark of that immortal fire With angels shared, by Alla given, To lift from earth our low desire. View quote
Lord Byron
She walks the waters like a thing of life, And seems to dare the elements to strife. View quote
Lord Byron
Hope withering fled, and Mercy sighed farewell! (Lord Byron)
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. View quote
Lord Byron
And the might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword, Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord! View quote
Lord Byron
And to his eye There was but one beloved face on earth, And that was shining on him. View quote
Lord Byron
By thy cold breast and serpent smile, By thy unfathom'd gulfs of guile, By that most seeming virtuous eye, By thy shut soul's hypocrisy; By the perfection of thine art Which pass'd for human thine own heart; By thy delight in others' pain, And by thy brotherhood of Cain, I call upon thee! and compel Thyself to be thy proper Hell!
