Truly the epitome of the Romantic Poet, Lord Byron traveled and loved throughout Europe and wrote picaresque verse that proved immensely popular to audiences of his day. The man whose name is synonymous with romance gave his life in the noble cause of Greek liberty at the young age of thirty-six.

His love poems are fab but as a man, he was always a misogynist skunk. Nevertheless "...I would not fools should overhear....one single sigh that should be wholly thine..."....and I don't know why...but rumours of bisexuality always make those "young romantics" more "hot"....except Shelley, he was a doped-out bore...lol.
Recite one of Lord Byron's poems to a young lady who has just emerged from the jaws of death, and she will fall in love with you in an instant. Why, I consider Lord Byron my greatest ally in the word of amorous endeavours.
I just could not get into this, as much as I tried. sigh
Some of the poetry seemed like fluff, but some of it was really great. Too bad great romantic poetry seems to have to be written by promiscuous poets.
I downloaded these to my i-touch and have been reading them. I am ashamed it has taken me this long to finally explore his work.
