Gordon

Famous quotes containing the word gordon:

“There was a sound of revelry by night,
And Belgium’s capital had gathered then
Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright
The lamps shone o’er fair women and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as a marriage-bell;
But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“The English winter—ending in July,
To recommence in August.”

“A woman who ... gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover—but will sooner or later find a tyrant.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
