This has been my favorite poem ever since I heard it 5 months ago.

Wow - cool! Thanks.

Sadly, I have to tell you that the animation doesn't go with the themes in the poem (I guess someone did a poor research). There is an unpublished part of this poem where Byron tells more about the woman, who is married and who breaks the vows by cheating on her husband with Byron and he believes that if she could cheat on her hubby she is no good and therefore, sends her to hell.

Romantic poets...their own rules (about how people should behave and what they should be like) do not apply to them.

Yes, the history of the poem is interesting (you're referring to Lady Frances Webster, I assume?). However, it's not vital to a reading of the poem.

Just because that's what it meant to Byron, doesn't mean that all readers have to have those images in mind. And just as the deleted scenes in a movie aren't a vital part of the film, so When We Two Parted doesn't have to be considered with the lines that Byron removed.

'this retard' is the head of the only professional Machinima studio in the world, and directly responsible for some of the biggest breakthroughs in Creative Commons entertainment distribution, including the first ever feature length CC mechinima.

Yes, he has a speech impediment. So did Winston Churchill. Now fuck off and learn to show a little respect.

My fiance's name is Byron and when we parted I wrote him a song.  It's called Farewell and I posted it as a response. ;) Good luck with your filmmaking, too. I love it!
