More from Lord Byron
"I am not a good man, but I am a good poet."
"I have too much of the poet in me to be a practical man."
"Self praise is no praise at all."
"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 contempt for all critics, and I never read their reviews."
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.
