Lord Byron quotes (fragments from Manfred")

“My slumbers--if I slumber--are not sleep, / But a continuance of enduring thought, / Which then I can resist not: in my heart / There is a vigil, and these eyes but close / To look within; […]”


“as rain unto the sands”


“spirits of the unbound Universe!”


“breath of twilight”


“[…] in a robe of clouds, / With a diadem of snow.”


“Where the wind is a stranger”


“Space bosom’d not a lovelier star.”


“[…] clouds / Rise curling fast beneath me, […] / Like foam from the roused ocean of deep Hell, / Whose every wave breaks on a living shore”
