Self-love for ever creeps out, like a snake, to sting anything which happens to stumble upon it.
Lord ByronThe image of Eternity--the throne Of the Invisible; even from out thy slime The monsters of the deep are made; each zone Obeys thee; thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone.
Lord ByronKnow ye not who would be free themselves must strike the blow? by their right arms the conquest must be wrought?
Lord ByronI feel my immortality over sweep all pains, all tears, all time, all fears, - and peal, like the eternal thunders of the deep, into my ears, this truth, - thou livest forever!
Lord Byron
