Lord Byron on Circumstances
← Back to Lord Byron Profile
“I am the very slave of circumstance And impulse—borne away with every breath.”
“Men are the sport of circumstances, when The circumstances seem the sport of men.”
“And circumstance, that unspiritual god, And miscreator, makes and helps along Our coming evils, with a critch-like rod, Whose touch turns hope to dust—the dust we all have trod.”
