George Gordon Byron: Idézetek angolul
“But nothing rests, save carcases and wrecks,
Rocks, and the salt-surf weeds of bitterness.”
Act II, scene i.
Manfred (1817)
Kontextus: 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).
Kontextus: 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.

In solitude, where we arealone.”
