Just terrible. He's clearly in the canon through persona alone.

ITT: We discuss Lord Byron

Why is Byron so patrician? I mean there are few writers and even fewer poets who are as based as he was

What's the best way to get yourself acquainted with Lord Byron? I've been doing myself a disservice by not having read him until now, beyond a simple compilation, and would like to remedy it.

When some proud Son of Man returns to Earth,
Unknown to Glory but upheld by Birth,
The sculptor's art exhausts the pomp of woe,
And storied urns record who rests below.
When all is done, upon the Tomb is seen
Not what he was, but what he should have been.
But the poor Dog, in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his Masters own,
Who labors, fights, lives, breathes for him alone,
Unhonour'd falls, unnotic'd all his worth,
Deny'd in heaven the Soul he held on earth.
While man, vain insect! hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven.
Oh man! thou feeble tenant of an hour,
Debas'd by slavery, or corrupt by power,
Who knows thee well, must quit thee with disgust,
Degraded mass of animated dust!
Thy love is lust, thy friendship all a cheat,
Thy tongue hypocrisy, thy words deceit,
By nature vile, ennobled but by name,
Each kindred brute might bid thee blush for shame.
Ye! who behold perchance this simple urn,
Pass on, it honours none you wish to mourn.
To mark a friend's remains these stones arise,
I never knew but one — and here he lies.

Is Byron a good place to begin reading poetry? I read one of his about the apocalypse and it sounded cool as fuck.

>HURRRRRRRRR COOMERS CAN'T WRITE SHIT YOU MUST BE A COCLBLOCKED KEK TO BE A LITERATURE MAN NO FAPPERS MASTER RA-

He thought of sexual love as a product of reflex and mechanical habit,
not of inner emotional drives. When he said, "I do not believe in the existence of what is called Love," we are probably to take him quite literally.

>be Anglo
>be raised on the stories of the Iliad and the Odyssey
>hear about the Greek War of Independence
>Immediately go to Greece
>Get physically ill when you realize that the 2 metres tall white Aryan warriors are nowhere to be found and the Greeks are brown manlet meds
>die because you can't accept this fact
Was he the first Varg? The first we Wuzzer?

You will never be as divine as him no matter how much you prevent yourself from feeling pleasure like the cuck you are.

>tfw we'll never see another poet with the "lord" title in their name in our lifetimes

Post literary figures who were essentially instagram thots. I'll start with the most obvious: pic related.

Anyone recommend a good biography of Byron? Feel like with poetry it needs context to really appreciate it

Who are some other alpha male intellectuals post the classical era?

Never read Byron before.

Is he as good as everyone says he is or is he merely another meme poet beloved for what his character represents?

What's his best work.
