More from Lord Byron
"Friendship is Love without his wings!"
"I hate things all fiction… there should always be some foundation of fact for the most airy fabric and pure invention is but the talent of a liar."
"I have always been of opinion that the best way to make a man a good soldier is to make him a good citizen."
"What is love? 'Tis not hereafter; present bliss is all we know."
"I am a very generous man, and I would give away my last shilling to a beggar."
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.
