Lord Byron
to whom immortal eyes The sufferings of mortality Seen in their sad reality, Were not as things thatdespise;What was thy pity's recompense? A silent suffering, and intense; The rock, the vulture, and the chain, All that the proud can feel of pain, The agony they do not show, The suffocating sense of woe, Which speaks but in its loneliness, And then is jealous lest the sky Should have a listener, nor will sigh Until its voice is echoless. — Lord Byron pain Thy was to be , To render with thy precepts less The sum of human wretchedness, And strengthenwith his own mind; But baffled as thou wert from high, Still in thy patient , In the endurance, and repulse Of thine impenetrable , Whichandcould not convulse,A mighty lesson we inherit: Thou art aand a sign To Mortals of theirand force; Like thee, Man is in part divine, A troubled stream from a pure source; And Man in portions can foresee His own funereal ; His wretchedness, and his resistance, And his sad unallied existence: To which his Spirit may oppose Itself — and equal to all woes, And a firm will, and a deep sense, Which even in torture can decry Its own concenter'd recompense,Triumphant where it dares defy, And making Death a Victory. — Lord Byron art I love the language, that soft bastard Latin, Which melts like kisses from a female mouth, And sounds as if it should be writ on satin, With syllables which breathe of the sweet South, And gentle liquids gliding all so pat in, That not a single accent seems uncouth, Like our harsh northern whistling, grunting guttural, Which we're obliged to hiss, and spit, and sputter all. — Lord Byron love
