Letter "L" » Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
"Wives in their husbands' absences grow subtler,
And daughters sometimes run off with the butler."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Absence
"Farce follow'd Comedy, and reach'd her prime.
In ever-laughing Foote's fantastic time;
Mad wag! who pardon'd none, nor spared the best,
And turn'd some very serious things to jest.
Nor church nor state escaped his public sneers,
Arms nor the gown, priests, lawyers, volunteers;
"Alas, poor Yorick!" now forever mute!
Whoever loves a laugh must sigh for Foote.
We smile, perforce, when histrionic scenes
Ape the swoln dialogue of kings and queens,
When "Chrononhotonthelogos must die,"
And Arthur struts in mimic majesty."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Acting
"As good as a play."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Acting
"Not to admire, is all the art I know
(Plain truth, dear Murray, needs few flowers of speech)
To make men happy, or to keep them so."
(So take it in the very words of Creech)
Thus Horace wrote we all know long ago;
And thus Pope quotes the precept to re-teach
From his translation; but had none admired,
Would Pope have sung, or Horace been inspired?"
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Admiration
"And these vicissitudes come best in youth;
For when they happen at a riper age,
People are apt to blame the Fates, forsooth,
And wonder Providence is not more sage.
Adversity is the first path to truth:
He who hath proved war, storm, or woman's rage,
Whether his winters be eighteen or eighty,
Has won experience which is deem'd so weighty."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Adversity
"She had a good opinion of advice,
Like all who give and eke receive it gratis,
For which small thanks are still the market price,
Even where the article at highest rate is."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Advice
"Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray Marathon."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Age
"What is the worst of woes that wait on age?
What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow?
To view each love one blotted from life's page,
And be alone on earth as I am now."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Age
"He has grown aged in this world of woe,
In deeds, not years, piercing the depths of life.
So that no wonder waits him."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Age
". . . Years steal
Fire from the mind, as vigor from the limb;
And life's enchanted cut but sparkles near the brim."
Author: Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron)
About: Age
