More from Lord Byron
"There is no doubt that I am a very selfish person."

"The basis of your religion is injustice. The Son of God, the pure, the immaculate, the innocent, is sacrificed for the guilty."
"I have a great admiration for the Turks, they are a brave and generous people."
"I would rather be a worm than a god, if I could only be a free worm."
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.
