More from Lord Byron
"A drop of ink may make a million think."
"I'll publish right or wrong: Fools are my theme, let satire be my song."
"There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything."
"Proud Wellington, with eagle beak so curled, That nose, the hook where he suspends the world!"
"The basis of your religion is injustice. The Son of God, the pure, the immaculate, the innocent, is sacrificed for the guilty."
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.
