Lord Byron

I love not man the less, but Nature more.
Lord Byron

I only go out to get me a fresh appetite for being alone.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron

The poor dog, in life the firmest friend. The first to welcome, foremost to defend.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron

Yes, love indeed is light from heaven; A spark of that immortal fire with angels shared, by Allah given to lift from earth our low desire.
