Additional quotes by Lord Byron

She was his life,
The ocean to the river of his thoughts, Which terminated all.

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

It glides along the water looking blackly,
Just like a coffin clapt in a canoe,
Where none can make out what you say or do.
