More from Lord Byron
"I have a great love for music, and I believe it is the language of the soul."
"If she had been a few years younger, what a fool she would have made of me had she thought it worth her while."
"I have a great admiration for Napoleon, and I believe he was the greatest man that ever lived."
"All the pious deeds performed on Earth can never entitle a man to everlasting happiness."
"The great advantage of being a fool is that one is always content with oneself."
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.
