What a strange thing is man! and what a stranger Is woman! … - Lord Byron

" "
What a strange thing is man! and what a stranger
Is woman! What a whirlwind is her head,
And what a whirl-pool full of depth and danger
Is all the rest about her! Whether wed,
Or widow, maid or mother, she can change her
Mind like the wind: whatever she has said
Or done, is light to what she’ll say or do; — The oldest thing on record, and yet new!

Additional quotes by Lord Byron

She walks the waters like a thing of life,
And seems to dare the elements to strife.

A light broke in upon my brain, —
It was the carol of a bird;
It ceased, and then it came again,
The sweetest song ear ever heard.

The keenest pangs the wretched find Are rapture to the dreary void, The leafless desert of the mind, The waste of feelings unemployed.
