Lord Byron on Happiness
← Back to Lord Byron Profile
“* * * all who joy would win Must share it,—Happiness was born a twin.”
“There comes For ever something between us and what We deem our happiness.”
“Oh, Mirth and Innocence! Oh, Milk and Water! Ye happy mixtures of more happy days!”
“Both were so young, and one so innocent, That bathing pass'd for nothing; Juan seem'd To her, as 'twere, the kind of being sent, Of whom these two years she had nightly dream'd, A something to be loved, a creature meant To be her happiness, and whom she deem'd To render happy; all who joy would win Must share it,––Happiness was born a twin.”
