Lord Byron Quotes About Dreads

Quotes about: Dreads

• A sleep without dreams, after a rough day of toil, is what we covet most; and yet
  How clay shrinks back from more quiescent clay!
  The very Suicide that pays his debt at once without installments
  (an old way of paying debts, which creditors regret)
  Lets out impatiently his rushing breath, less from disgust of life than dread of death.

  Lord Byron

  Suicide, Dream, Regret

  Lord Byron (2013). “Don Juan”, p.324, Simon and Schuster

• When people say, "I've told you fifty times," They mean to scold, and very often do; When poets say, "I've written fifty rhymes," They make you dread that they'll recite them too; In gangs of fifty, thieves commit their crimes; At fifty love for love is rare, 't is true, but then, no doubt, it equally as true is, a good deal may be bought for fifty Louis.

  Lord Byron

  Mean, Love Is, People

  "Don Juan". Poem by Lord Byron, 1818-1824.

• The image of Eternity--the throne Of the Invisible; even from out thy slime The monsters of the deep are made; each zone Obeys thee; thou goest forth, dread, fathomless, alone.

  Lord Byron

  Ocean, Monsters, Thrones

  Lord Byron, Lord George Gordon Byron (2013). “Childe Harold's Pilgrimage”, p.189, Cambridge University Press
