Famous quotes by george gordon:

    “Here lies interred in the eternity of the past, from whence there is no resurrection for the days—whatever there may be for the dust—the thirty-third year of an ill-spent life, which, after a lingering disease of many months sank into a lethargy, and expired, January 22d, 1821, A.D. leaving a successor inconsolable for the very loss which occasioned its existence.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “‘Tis the perception of the beautiful,
    A fine extension of the faculties,
    Platonic, universal, wonderful,
    Drawn from the stars, and filtered through the skies,
    Without which life would be extremely dull.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Wives in their husbands’ absences grow subtler,
    And daughters sometimes run off with the butler.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
