This praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery if inscribed over human Ashes, is but a just tribute to the Memory of Boatswain, a Dog who was born in Newfoundland May 1803 and died at Newstead Nov. 18th, 1808 When some proud Son of Man returns to Earth, Unknown to Glory, but upheld by Birth, The sculptor’s art exhausts the pomp of woe, And storied urns record who rests below. When all is done, upon the Tomb is seen, Not what he was, but what he should have been. But the poor Dog, in life the firmest friend, The first to welcome, foremost to defend, Whose honest heart is still his Master’s own, Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone, Unhonoured falls, unnoticed all his worth, Denied in heaven the Soul he held on earth – While man, vain insect! hopes to be forgiven, And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven. Oh man! thou feeble tenant of an hour, Debased by slavery, or corrupt by power – Who knows thee well, must quit thee with disgust, Degraded mass of animated dust! Thy love is lust, thy friendship all a cheat, Thy tongue hypocrisy, thy heart deceit! By nature vile, ennobled but by name, Each kindred brute might bid thee blush for shame. Ye, who behold perchance this simple urn, Pass on – it honours none you wish to mourn. To mark a friend’s remains these stones arise; I never knew but one -- and here he lies.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lord Byron" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/lord-byron/near-this-spot-are-deposited-the-remains-of-one-who-possessed-beauty/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2c4/lord-byron-356_beauty_near-this-spot-are-deposited-the-remains_2078501.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2c4/lord-byron-356_beauty_near-this-spot-are-deposited-the-remains_2078501.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2c4/lord-byron-356_beauty_near-this-spot-are-deposited-the-remains_2078501.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Near this Spot are deposited the Remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without…” — Lord Byron", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 17, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“This, bellissima ,\" Nonna began, \"is true love story... \"The Costas, we were born to the sea and proud, very proud.

He sided with the Mexicans in the Mexican-American war and thought the United States had stolen all the land north of the Rio Grande, but he also thought the southern states should have had as much right to leave the union as the colonies had to leave the British Empire. “Only difference between a traitor and a patriot is your perspective,” he said. * * * I loved my lessons, particularly science and geometry, loved learning that there were these invisible rules that explained the mysteries of the world we lived in.
