If she had been a few years younger, what a fool she would have made of me had she thought it worth her while.

More from Lord Byron
"Curiosity kills itself; And love is only curiosity, as is proved by its end."
"I am of a very peculiar constitution of mind, I am never happy but when I am miserable."
"A man must serve his time to every trade. Save censure - critics are ready-made."
"Christ came to save men, but a good Pagan will go to heaven and a bad Nazarene to hell. If mankind who never heard or dreamt of Galilee and its Prophet may be saved, Christianity is of no avail."
"All tragedies are finished by a death, All comedies are ended by a marriage; The future states of both are left to faith."
About Lord Byron (1788-1824)
English Romantic poet whose Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812-18) and Don Juan (1819-24) made him a continent-wide celebrity; died at Missolonghi fighting for Greek independence. Closely associated with Percy Bysshe Shelley (Geneva summer companion and fellow second-generation Romantic) and John Keats (younger Romantic Byron mocked but later admired). For an intellectual contrast, see William Wordsworth, Lake Poet of pious nature-worship — Byron's mockery of 'the Lakers' Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey runs through Don Juan as a sustained literary feud across hundreds of stanzas. The cleanest Romantic-internal split between sincere-pastoral and cynical-worldly poetics.
