Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven!
If in your bright leaves we would read the fate
Of men and empires,-'tis to be forgiven,
That in our aspirations to be great,
Our destinies o'erleap their mortal state,
And claim a kindred with you; for ye are
A beauty and a mystery, and create
In us such love and reverence from afar,
That fortune, fame, power, life, have named themselves a star.

Additional quotes by Lord Byron

I could not tame my nature down; for he
Must serve who fain would sway — and soothe — and sue — And watch all time — and pry into all place — And be a living lie — who would become
A mighty thing amongst the mean, and such
The mass are; I disdained to mingle with
A herd, though to be leader — and of wolves.
The lion is alone, and so am I.
