I have a friend who says she ranks Lord Byron above all the English Romantic poets--even above Keats. I can't agree, even though reading through this I understand why she would. She thinks Keats sometimes overwrought. I don't agree really. What can I say, he sings to me. The only poem of Keats I don...

He can be cold, detached, heartless, witty, kind, charming, sensitive. He can be a thousand men in one. He had a beautiful style, even while writing a simple letter.

Kiedyś musiałam przeczytać tę książkę, ponieważ była ona w spisie lektur. Wtedy nie bardzo przypadła mi do gustu. Po jakimś czasie postanowiłam przeczytać ją znowu i... zmieniłam o niej trochę zdanie. Odkryłam ją na nowo. Byron to legendarna postać europejskiego romantyzmu. Jego wschodnie podróże pr...
