More Quotes from Lord Byron:
So for a good old gentlemanly vice I think I must take up with avarice.Lord Byron
I cannot prate in puling strain
Of ladye-love, and beauty's chain:
If changing cheek, and searching vein,
Lips taught to writhe, but not complain,
If bursting heart, and maddening brain,
And daring deed, and vengeful steel,
And all that I have felt, and feel,
Betoken love - that love was mine,
And shown by many a bitter sign.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron

Lord Byron

Lord Byron
The better days of life were ours;
The worst can be but mine:
The sun that cheers, the storm that lowers,
Shall never more be thine.
Lord Byron
