\u201cThere is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne\u2019er express, yet cannot all conceal.\u201d
\u2015 Lord Byron, <\/strong>Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll who joy would win
Must share it — Happiness was born a twin.\u201d
\u2015 George Gordon Byron, <\/strong>Don Juan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling, like dew, upon a thought produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions think.\u201d
\u2015\u00a0Lord George Gordon Byron<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen stirs the feeling infinite, so felt
In solitude, where we are least<\/em> alone.\u201d
\u2015 George Gordon Byron, <\/strong>Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe 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…\u201d
\u2015 Lord Byron<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA woman being never at a loss… the devil always sticks by them.\u201d
\u2015 George Gordon Byron, <\/strong>Lord Byron: Selected Letters and Journals<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTime and Nemesis will do that which I would not, were it in my power remote or immediate. You will smile at this piece of prophecy – do so, but recollect it: it is justified by all human experience. No one was ever even the involuntary cause of great evils to others, without a requital: I have paid and am paying for mine – so will you.\u201d
\u2015 George Gordon Byron, <\/strong>Lord Byron: Selected Letters and Journals<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDespair and Genius are too oft connected\u201d
