More from Lord Byron
"All tragedies are finished by a death, All comedies are ended by a marriage; The future states of both are left to faith."
"I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned."
"I have a great contempt for all governments, and I believe they are all corrupt."
"I have a great contempt for all hypocrisy, and I strive to be honest in all things."
"I am not a good man, but I am a good poet."
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.
