Selected Poetry of Lord Byron
Selected Poetry of Lord Byron | Lord George G. Byron
1 post | 1 read
Poet, celebrity, and revolutionary, Lord (George Gordon) Byron was one of the most influential and controversial figures of the first half of the nineteenth century, his distinctive, deeply felt work comprising one of the enduring high points of Romantic literature. From Manfred, with its evocation of the figure that came to be called the Byronic hero, to the melancholy Childe Harold, to the satirical masterpiece Don Juan (presented here in judiciously selected form), this Modern Library Paperback Classic includes all of the essential Byron. From the Trade Paperback edition.

#GratefulHarvest - Silence:
Lord Byron:
Dashing / Amorous / Unconventional / Flamboyant / Notorious / Defiant / Melancholy / Romantic paradox /
Licentious / Mad, bad and dangerous to know

These are the words that tended to circle him.

On the flip side:

Leading figure of the Romantic Movement / Poetic Revolutionist / Freethinker / Deep-thinker / Realist /Champion for Liberty / Commander of the English language

Nute Hmm….complexity, duality…conviction. Sounds like the makings of a poet. He was known to be one of the greatest English poets.

In secret we met—
   In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
   Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
   After long years,
How should I greet thee?—
   With silence and tears.
