Gordon

Famous quotes containing the word gordon:

    It will be difficult for me not to make sport for the Philistines by pulling down a house or two, since when I once take pen in hand, I must say what comes uppermost, or fling it away.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    He scratched his ear, the infallible resource
    To which embarrassed people have recourse.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Did ye not hear it?—No; ‘twas but the wind,
    Or the car rattling o’er the stony street;
    On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
    No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
    To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
