More from Lord Byron
"God would have made his Will known without books, considering how very few could read when Jesus of Nazareth lived, had it been His pleasure to ratify any peculiar mode of worship."
"They used to say that knowledge is power. I used to think so, but I know now they mean money."
"Men think highly of those who rise rapidly in the world; whereas nothing rises quicker than dust, straw, and feathers."
"I am a very passionate man, and I love with all my heart, but I hate with all my soul."
"Fame is the last infirmity of noble minds."
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.
