It goes without saying that Byron is a good poet. Maybe even

I would say the poetic persona can't be seperate from the art.

Agreed - the process of mythmaking, and of the author fictionalizing themselves was as true of wilde and whitman, as it is of byron - as when whitman had a fake butterfly affixed to his finger in this photo

reading Lord Byron now - he's a major poet in the english language, knowing little of his biography I can still feel his suave and tremendous attitude in his narrative digressions

He's a terrible poet. Read Blake instead.

nigga have you even read Don Juan?
