5612 George Gordon Noel Byron

 
NUMBER:5612
AUTHOR:George Gordon Noel Byron, Lord Byron (1788–1824)
QUOTATION:But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!
Did ye not hear it?—No! ’t was but the wind,
Or the car rattling o’er the stony street.
On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
