Byron

Famous quotes containing the word byron:

    The earth is covered thick with other clay,
    Which her own clay shall cover, heaped and pent,
    Rider and horse,—friend, foe,—in one red
    burial blent!
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The greenest island of my imagination.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    This place is the Devil, or at least his principal residence, they call it the University, but any other appellation would have suited it much better, for study is the last pursuit of the society; the Master eats, drinks, and sleeps, the Fellows drink, dispute and pun, the employments of the undergraduates you will probably conjecture without my description.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
