Marriage from love, like vinegar from wine — A sad, sour, sober beverage — by time
Is sharpen’d from its high celestial flavour
Down to a very homely household savour.

Additional quotes by Lord Byron

Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge.

When elements to elements conform,
And dust is as it should be, shall I not
Feel all I see, less dazzling, but more warm?
The bodiless thought? the Spirit of each spot?
Of which, even now, I share at times the immortal lot?
