Leaves us so doubly serious shortly after.

Additional quotes by Lord Byron

I love not man the less, but nature more

Better to sink beneath the shock
Than moulder piecemeal on the rock!

And if we do but watch the hour, There never yet was human power
Which could evade, if unforgiven, The patient search and vigil long
Of him who treasures up a wrong.

...methinks the older that one grows, Inclines us more to laugh the scold, though laughter Leaves us so doubly serious shortly after. - Lord Byron
