Childe Harold's Pilgrimage quotes

Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean—roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain

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

There was a sound of revelry by night, And Belgium's Capital had gathered then Her Beauty and her Chivalry

I have not loved the World, nor the World me

While stands the Coliseum, Rome shall stand: When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall; And when Rome falls—the World.
