Byron

[langstonify]

Thanks for this one. It's good.

@langstonify Thank you, Hans. I guess it's a fairly good overview, thankfully free of all the postmodern hype other documentaries affix to Lord B. Happy early new year. :) -- E

Good to see this, again! Thanks, Erika

Marvellous video Erika ...a pearl to the masses indeed!

I did'st ponder though...at the onset...that the narrator, suited thus, seemed unqualified to speak of someone so debauched as Byron?

Mind you...the stillest waters runneth the deepest, I suppose.

Perhaps said gentleman is not unfamiliar with some libidinous nights himself.!!

[HerAeolianHarp]

@Hellishcrusade Ha ha. Indeed! :)

[poetictouchannel]

You never fail to fascinate us, Erika! I particularly enjoyed listening to the recitation of the great lines from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage ("Could I embody and unbosom now / That which is most within me...").

[HerAeolianHarp]

@poetictouchannel Thank you so much. I love those lines, too. I have a very small, very old hardbound copy of that poem, and I treasure it. Thanks, too, for all the fascination housed in each poem at your wonderful channel. :)

Byron! Great stuff! Thanks for posting.

[HerAeolianHarp]

@steinbachvideo Thanks, Steve. I am fascinated by him, but I think I may have said to you or someone else here (can't recall) that I love his work more than the man. He was quite a cruel man, far too much so. Then this: he said women did not have souls... Yet his complexity fascinates me.

[steinbachvideo]

@HerAeolianHarp I certainly can't argue with you on the man. He was cruel and had a pretty low opinion of women from what I gather... though I sometimes wonder how much of it was posturing and how much was genuine. He was certainly a complex dude.

@bigeeezy Thanks, mate.

Enjoyed this...I stayed in Byron, Australia recently...(Barn they pronounce it) which Cook called after John Byron, grandfather of the poet. As far as I could make out...no one there had heard of Poet (Barn) Byron...and Barn is now a young peoples' Beach Resort with a hippie colony.!

[HerAeolianHarp]

@Poemsapennyeach Good to hear about "Barn". Side point: I read that James Dean's mother called him James Byron Dean after Lord B. I love these random discoveries: two brooding, intense, legendary figures, confused, reckless, but totally compelling. (Jimmy Dean tugs at my heart, though, whereas Bryon at times moves me with the might of his verse.)
