More Quotes from Lord Byron:
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.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
