Cain a Mystery QUOTES

1 " LUCIFER: They say what they must sing and say on pain
Of being that which I am and thou art--
Of spirits and of men.

CAIN: And what is that?

LUCIFER: Souls who dare use their immortality,
Souls who dare look the omnipotent tyrant in
His everlasting face and tell him that
His evil is not good! "

― Lord Byron , Cain a Mystery

2 " LUCIFER: I pity thee who lovest what must perish.
CAIN: And I thee who lov'st nothing "

― Lord Byron , Cain a Mystery

3 " Homage he has from all - but none from me...
I battle it against him, as I battled in highest heaven - through all eternity,
And the unfathomable gulfs of hades, and the interminable realms of space,
And the infinity of endless ages... all, all will I dispute.
-Lucifer "

― Lord Byron , Cain a Mystery

4 " Let him! He is great but in his greatness he is no happier than we in our conflict! Goodness would not make evil; and what else hath he made? but let him sit on his vast solitary throne, creating worlds to make eternity less burthensome to his immense existence. "

― Lord Byron , Cain a Mystery

― Lord Byron , Cain a Mystery

8 " I live,
But live to die; and, living, see no thing
To make death hateful, save an innate clinging,
A loathsome, and yet all invincible
Instinct of life, which I abhor, as I
Despise myself, yet cannot overcome––
And so I live. Would I had never lived! "

― Lord Byron , Cain a Mystery
