More from Lord Byron
"I hate women, and I love them."
"I am a very bad dancer, and I hate to dance."
"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 am not a good man, but I am a good poet."
"I am a very cynical man, and I believe that all men are inherently evil."
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.
