George Gordon Byron: Citations en anglais
“But nothing rests, save carcases and wrecks,
Rocks, and the salt-surf weeds of bitterness.”
Act II, scene i.
Manfred (1817)
Contexte: Think'st thou existence doth depend on time?
It doth; but actions are our epochs: mine
Have made my days and nights imperishable
Endless, and all alike, as sands on the shore
Innumerable atoms; and one desert
Barren and cold, on which the wild waves break,
But nothing rests, save carcases and wrecks,
Rocks, and the salt-surf weeds of bitterness.
Letter to Thomas Moore (9 April 1814).
Contexte: My great comfort is, that the temporary celebrity I have wrung from the world has been in the very teeth of all opinions and prejudices. I have flattered no ruling powers; I have never concealed a single thought that tempted me.
“Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt
In solitude, where we arealone.”
Source: Childe Harold's Pilgrimage
“Tis strange - but true; for Truth is always strange,
Stranger than Fiction”
Variante: For truth is always strange; stranger than fiction.
“They never fail who die
In a great cause.”
Marino Faliero, Act II, Scene 2, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
“A woman being never at a loss… the devil always sticks by them.”
Source: Lord Byron: Selected Letters and Journals,
“I had a dream, which was not all a dream.”
