For, though thy long dark lashes low depending,
The soul of melancholy Gentleness
Gleams like a Seraph from the sky descending,
Above all pain, yet pitying all distress;
At once such majesty with sweetness blending,
I worship more, but cannot love thee less.
(Sonnet - To Genevra)
More Quotes from Lord Byron:
Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.Lord Byron

The worst can be but mine:
The sun that cheers, the storm that lowers,
Shall never more be thine.

And, sooth to say, that very dream
Was sweeter in its phantasy,
Than if for other hearts I burn'd,
For eyes that ne'er like thine could beam
In Rapture's wild reality.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
But time strips our illusions of their hue, And one by one in turn, some grand mistake Casts off its bright skin yearly like the snake
Lord Byron
