As winds come whispering lightly from the West, Kissing, not ruffling, the blue deep's serene.
Lord ByronTruth is a gem that is found at a great depth; whilst on the surface of the world all things are weighed by the false scale of custom.
Lord ByronIf I am fool, it is, at least, a doubting one; and I envy no one the certainty of his self-approved wisdom.
Lord ByronI really cannot know whether I am or am not the Genius you are pleased to call me, but I am very willing to put up with the mistake, if it be one. It is a title dearly enough bought by most men, to render it endurable, even when not quite clearly made out, which it never can be till the Posterity, whose decisions are merely dreams to ourselves, has sanctioned or denied it, while it can touch us no further.
Lord Byron
