Lord Byron

Mad, bad, and dangerous to know. Swam the Hellespont because Leander did. Sailed for Greece because the cause was beautiful and I had the means.

Lord Byron

·1818·Venice, Italy

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, there is a rapture on the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not Man the less, but Nature more.

Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Canto IV, Stanza 178
