Ere my fainting spirit fell

Additional quotes by Lord Byron

History, with all her volumes vast, hath but one page

But ’tis done — all words are idle — Words from me are vainer still;
But the thoughts we cannot bridle 55
Force their way without the will.

Fare thee well! thus disunited,
Torn from every nearer tie,
Sear’d in heart, and lone, and blighted,
More than this I scarce can die.

If I do not write to empty my mind, I go mad.
