More from Lord Byron
"If she had been a few years younger, what a fool she would have made of me had she thought it worth her while."
"Now hatred is by far the longest pleasure; Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure."
"The basis of your religion is injustice. The Son of God, the pure, the immaculate, the innocent, is sacrificed for the guilty."
"Love in this part of the world is no sinecure."
"I am a very proud man, and I have a great contempt for those who are not."
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.
