  3. A quotation from Byron

    I stood in Venice, on the “Bridge of Sighs”;
       A Palace and a prison on each hand:
       I saw from out the wave her structures rise
       As from the stroke of the Enchanter’s wand:
       A thousand Years their cloudy wings expand
       Around me, and a dying Glory smiles
       O’er the far times, when many a subject land
       Looked to the wingéd Lion’s marble piles,
    Where Venice sat in state, throned on her hundred isles!

    George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824) English poet
    Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, Canto 4, st. 1 (1818)

  5. A quotation from Byron

    He who ascends to mountain-tops, shall find
       The loftiest peaks most wrapt in clouds and snow;
       He who surpasses or subdues mankind
       Must look down on the hate of those below.

    George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824) English poet
    Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, Canto 3, st. 45 (1816)

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