Quote of the Day (Lord Byron, on Jealous Husbands)


“A real husband always is suspicious,
But still no less suspects in the wrong place,
Jealous of some one who had no such wishes,
Or pandering blindly to his own disgrace,
By harbouring some dear friend extremely vicious;
The last indeed's infallibly the case:
And when the spouse and friend are gone off wholly,
He wonders at their vice, and not his folly.”—George Gordon, Lord Byron, Don Juan, Canto the First
